Dependable Network Computing [Paperback]

Dependable Network Computing provides insights into various problems facing millions of global users resulting from the `internet revolution'. It covers real-time problems involving software, servers, and large-scale storage systems with adaptive fault-tolerant routing and dynamic reconfiguration techniques. Also included is material on routing protocols, QoS, and dead- and live-lock free related issues. All chapters are written by leading specialists in their respective fields.
Dependable Network Computing provides useful information for scientists, researchers, and application developers building networks based on commercially off-the-shelf components.Dependable Network Computing provides insights into various problems facing millions of global users resulting from the `internet revolution'.
