Advances in Distributed and Parallel Processing, Volume One (Book)

Tools, Databases and System Paradigms

Edited by Harry W. Tyrer

The explosive progress in distributed and parallel computing gives rise to the seemingly concurrent arrival of new hardware architectures, software, and algorithms. This provides an impetus to review a particular area based on funda-mental issues and the state of the art. This series, Advances in Distributed and Parallel Processing, serves such a need for those professionally involved in the design, development, research, production, and use of parallel and distributed processing systems. Scholars, managers, and practitioners alike will find sufficient depth in each article, and breadth in each volume, to acquire a basis for further effort in the field.

This first volume of the series converges on the theoretical basis and implementation of tools for program development in parallel and distributed environments, for design of distributed databases and analysis of their deadlocks, and for paradigms in distributed and parallel operating systems.
