Decentralized and Distributed Systems (IFIP Transactions A: Computer Science and Technology)

Decentralized and distributed systems have a drastic impact on everyday life because they constitute the key of cooperation and integration of large organizations and services. Distributed management of information and the ability to take local decisions or to perform local treatments, allow more flexibility and power. This raises many challenges and open problems, leading to new ideas, concepts and methods supported by new technologies. This publication is devoted to the study of developments in the field. The papers, sourced from a broad range of international contributors, cover a wide spectrum of specific topics, including: distributed algorithms, models, performance evaluation, interconnect, design methods and parallel simulation.Cosnard, Michel is the author of 'Decentralized and Distributed Systems (IFIP Transactions A: Computer Science and Technology)', published 1994 under ISBN 9780444817914 and ISBN 0444817913.
