This book was released on 1990 with total page 15 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The main contribution of the paper is the introduction of a spectrum of abstractions for multicast communication, in increasing order of both desirability and semantic level: functional mapping, iterators, and streams. Examples of distributed algorithms from the literature are used to illustrate the expressive power of each mechanism. Streams in particular provide first-class status for multicast communciation in progress, and can be implemented efficiently in typical multicast communication architectures."

This book was released on 1995-06-20 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents carefully refereed versions of the best papers presented at the Workshop on Models and Languages for Coordination of Parallelism and Distribution, held during ECOOP '94 in Bologna, Italy in July 1994. Recently a new class of models and languages for distributed and parallel programming has evolved; all these models share a few basic concepts: simple features for data description and a small number of mechanisms for coordinating the work of agents in a distributed setting. This volume demonstrates that integrating such features with those known from concurrent object-oriented programming is very promising with regard to language support for distribution and software composition.

This book was released on 2013-06-29 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contains the papers presented. at the Third IFIP International Working Conference on Dependable Computing for Critical Applications, sponsored by IFIP Working Group 10.4 and held in Mondello (Sicily), Italy on September 14-16, 1992. System developers increasingly apply computers where they can affect the safety and security of people and equipment. The Third IFIP International Working Conference on Dependable Computing for Critical Applications, like its predecessors, addressed various aspects of computer system dependability, a broad term defined as the degree of trust that may justifiably be placed in a system's reliability, availability, safety, security, and performance. Because the scope of the conference was so broad, we hope the presentations and discussions will contribute to the integration of these concepts so that future computer-based systems will indeed be more dependable. The Program Committee selected 18 papers for presentation from a total of 7 4 submissions at a May meeting in Newcastle upon Tyne, UK. The resulting program represented a broad spectrum of interests, with papers from universities, corporations, and government agencies in eight countries. Much diligent work by the Program Committee and the quality of reviews from more than a hundred external referees from around the world, for which we are most grateful, significantly eased the production of this technical program.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Foundations of Dependable Computing: Models and Frameworks for Dependable Systems presents two comprehensive frameworks for reasoning about system dependability, thereby establishing a context for understanding the roles played by specific approaches presented in this book's two companion volumes. It then explores the range of models and analysis methods necessary to design, validate and analyze dependable systems. A companion to this book (published by Kluwer), subtitled Paradigms for Dependable Applications, presents a variety of specific approaches to achieving dependability at the application level. Driven by the higher level fault models of Models and Frameworks for Dependable Systems, and built on the lower level abstractions implemented in a third companion book subtitled System Implementation, these approaches demonstrate how dependability may be tuned to the requirements of an application, the fault environment, and the characteristics of the target platform. Three classes of paradigms are considered: protocol-based paradigms for distributed applications, algorithm-based paradigms for parallel applications, and approaches to exploiting application semantics in embedded real-time control systems. Another companion book (published by Kluwer) subtitled System Implementation, explores the system infrastructure needed to support the various paradigms of Paradigms for Dependable Applications. Approaches to implementing support mechanisms and to incorporating additional appropriate levels of fault detection and fault tolerance at the processor, network, and operating system level are presented. A primary concern at these levels is balancing cost and performance against coverage and overall dependability. As these chapters demonstrate, low overhead, practical solutions are attainable and not necessarily incompatible with performance considerations. The section on innovative compiler support, in particular, demonstrates how the benefits of application specificity may be obtained while reducing hardware cost and run-time overhead.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: "Most current techniques for communications between the software components of a distributed application are limited to one-to- one communication; there is little support for one-to-many or many-to-many communications. We have developed a framework for selective multicast, a mechanism supporting one-to-many and many-to-many communications, where components of an application can communicate with each other. After discussing the overall requirements for a selective multicast environment, we describe our approach to selective multicast. An environment to support selective multicast in distributed system is then described in detail. We demonstrate selective multicast mechanism by providing an application of connecting Unix tools using selective multicast."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Both authors have taught the course of “Distributed Systems” for many years in the respective schools. During the teaching, we feel strongly that “Distributed systems” have evolved from traditional “LAN” based distributed systems towards “Internet based” systems. Although there exist many excellent textbooks on this topic, because of the fast development of distributed systems and network programming/protocols, we have difficulty in finding an appropriate textbook for the course of “distributed systems” with orientation to the requirement of the undergraduate level study for today’s distributed technology. Specifically, from - to-date concepts, algorithms, and models to implementations for both distributed system designs and application programming. Thus the philosophy behind this book is to integrate the concepts, algorithm designs and implementations of distributed systems based on network programming. After using several materials of other textbooks and research books, we found that many texts treat the distributed systems with separation of concepts, algorithm design and network programming and it is very difficult for students to map the concepts of distributed systems to the algorithm design, prototyping and implementations. This book intends to enable readers, especially postgraduates and senior undergraduate level, to study up-to-date concepts, algorithms and network programming skills for building modern distributed systems. It enables students not only to master the concepts of distributed network system but also to readily use the material introduced into implementation practices.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 636 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The primary audience for this book are advanced undergraduate students and graduate students. Computer architecture, as it happened in other fields such as electronics, evolved from the small to the large, that is, it left the realm of low-level hardware constructs, and gained new dimensions, as distributed systems became the keyword for system implementation. As such, the system architect, today, assembles pieces of hardware that are at least as large as a computer or a network router or a LAN hub, and assigns pieces of software that are self-contained, such as client or server programs, Java applets or pro tocol modules, to those hardware components. The freedom she/he now has, is tremendously challenging. The problems alas, have increased too. What was before mastered and tested carefully before a fully-fledged mainframe or a closely-coupled computer cluster came out on the market, is today left to the responsibility of computer engineers and scientists invested in the role of system architects, who fulfil this role on behalf of software vendors and in tegrators, add-value system developers, R&D institutes, and final users. As system complexity, size and diversity grow, so increases the probability of in consistency, unreliability, non responsiveness and insecurity, not to mention the management overhead. What System Architects Need to Know The insight such an architect must have includes but goes well beyond, the functional properties of distributed systems.

This book was released on 1996 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: "Software executing on distributed systems consists of many asynchronous, autonomous components which interact in order to coordinate local activity. The need for such coordination, as well as requirements such as heterogeneity, scalability, security and availability, considerably increase the complexity of code in distributed applications. Moreover, changing requirements, as well as changes in hardware platforms, lead to software that is constantly evolving and complicates reuse. To support development and evolution of distributed applications requires techniques which allow coordination code to be specified, customized, and maintained independently of application components; goals which cannot be realized solely through object-oriented techniques. This thesis demonstrates that meta-level specification of interaction policies enables modular description of component interaction policies, as well as customization of policy implementations. We present the high-level language DIL for specification of protocols. The language identifies the abstractions and concepts required for modular specification of interaction policies. The abstractions developed in DIL are then realized through a meta-level architecture. We provide several DIL protocols implementing policies for reliable communication, atomicity, and dependability in a multi-media application. The implementation techniques necessary to realize the meta-architecture are discussed in the context of Broadway, a run-time system for distributed C++ objects. This meta-architecture provides access to the system-level features necessary to support the modularity mechanisms defined in DIL. We provide examples of protocol translation from DIL to Broadway C++ classes that utilize the meta- architecture. Measurements show that these techniques may be implemented with minimal performance overhead. A formal semantics for reasoning about the approach is also developed."
