Data communications vs. distributed computing (abstract)
PODC '00: Proceedings of the nineteenth annual ACM symposium on Principles of distributed computingFrom my perspective, one of the more distressing aspects of the past fifteen years is the evolution of data communications and distributed computing into distinct and somewhat disconnected disciplines.
