Distributed Operating Systems Summary

Distributed Operating Systems: Concepts and Practice by Doreen L. Galli

For one-semester, fourth-year undergraduate courses in Parallel Computing, Distributed Operating Systems, and for graduate curriculum in the department of computer science.

This text examines the concepts, theory, and practice in distributed operating systems. A two-part approach presents the basic foundation for distributed computing and then expands on these topics to cover advanced distributed operating systems. It describes in detail every major aspect of the topics, and includes relevant examples of real operating systems to reinforce concepts and illustrate decisions that must be made by distributed system designers.
