Networked distributed systems: Foundations, breakthroughs, and implications
Building tomorrow's ubiquitous, pervasive networked computing systems
Technologies, protocols, messaging, software, integration, collaboration, security, and more
Avoiding the eight classic fallacies of distributed computing
The role of XML, Web services, Spaces, Jini, and other key technologies
Ten powerful megatrends driven by networked distributed computing
Networked distributed computing (NDC) systems are driving an ongoing technological revolution that has already spawned the Internet and will soon transform the world into one ubiquitous, pervasive "information field." In Network Distributed Computing: Fitscapes and Fallacies, Max K. Goff reviews the field's crucial challenges, state-of-the-art solutions, and breathtaking future. Goff covers both the "trees" and the "forest"-showing how NDC has evolved, where it's headed, and above all, what it all means.
