Review of Distributed Computing by Attiya and Welch

Distributed control algorithms strive to achieve coordination between physically distributed decision-makers and controllers in order to realize some desired behavior of a large-scale system in a fast, stable and accurate manner. However, these methods ...

The Distributed Computing Column covers the theory of systems that are composed of a number of interacting computing elements. These include problems of communication and networking, databases, distributed shared memory, multiprocessor architectures, ...
