Dynamics and Control of Distributed Systems

• Cambridge University Press eBooks (1998)

Distributed parameter systems encompass a broad range of engineering applications from stereo speakers to space structures. The dynamic behaviour of these systems is usually governed by one or more partial differential equations, which may ...

Distributed Systems

Vivek Kale • Chapman & Hall/CRC eBooks (2014)

Distributed applications consist of a collection of heterogeneous but fully autonomous components that can execute on different computers. While each of these components has full control over its constituent subparts, there is no master com...

Distributed Systems

Pranabananda Chakraborty • Chapman & Hall/CRC eBooks (2023)

This chapter demystifies computing systems consisting of multiple CPUs, shared and distributed memory, and different types of I/O in the form of multiprocessors and multicomputers that eventually gave rise to distributed computing systems a...

Symmetry and similarity in distributed systems

Ralph E. Johnson, Fred B. Schneider • ACM Symposium on Principles of Distributed Computing (PODC) (1985)

Abstract: Similarity is introduced as a model-independent characterization of symmetry. It can be used to decide when a concurrent system has a solution to the selection problem. It can also be used to compare different models of parallel c...

The Verification of a Distributed System

Caitie McCaffrey • Queue (2015)

Leslie Lamport, known for his seminal work in distributed systems, famously said, "A distributed system is one in which the failure of a computer you didn’t even know existed can render your own computer unusable." Given this bleak outlook ...

Functionally Accurate, Cooperative Distributed Systems

Victor Lesser, Daniel D. Corkill • IEEE Transactions on Systems Man and Cybernetics (1981)

A new approach for structuring distributed processing systems, called functionally accurate, cooperative (FA/C), is proposed. The approach differs from conventional ones in its emphasis on handling distribution-caused uncertainty and errors...
