Bøker i Wiley Series on Parallel and Distributed Computing-serien

Divided into three parts, this work provides an introduction to the theory of distributed computing. It covers the fundamental models, issues, and techniques. It is organized around key simulations in distributed computing, and their applications.

Computer architecture deals with the physical configuration, logical structure, formats, protocols, and operational sequences for processing data, controlling the configuration, and controlling the operations over a computer.

A sequel to Mobile Processing in Distributed and Open Environments (Wiley, 1999), this title introduces an extended, universal WAVE-WP model for distributed processing and control in dynamic and open worlds of any natures.

Focuses on the area of parallel and distributed computing, and considers the diverse approaches. Covering a comprehensive set of models and paradigms, this book serves as both an introduction and a survey. It is suitable for students and can be used as a foundation for parallel and distributed computing courses.

This is the first book to explain the language Unified Parallel C and its use. Authors El-Ghazawi, Carlson, and Sterling are among the developers of UPC, with close links with the industrial members of the UPC consortium. Their text covers background material on parallel architectures and algorithms, and includes UPC programming case studies.

Computer architecture deals with the physical configuration, logical structure, formats, protocols, and operational sequences for processing data, controlling the configuration, and controlling the operations over a computer. This book presents fundamentals of computer organization and architecture.

Dependable Computing Systems aims to identify and integrate approaches, develop methods and techniques for specifying, designing, building, assessing, validating, operating and maintaining dependable computer systems.

Parallel Metaheuristics provides a single, up-to-date reference on parallel metaheuristic issues. This comprehensive book presents modern and ongoing research information on using, designing, and analyzing efficient models of parallel algorithms (numeric and real-time efficiency, algorithms, comparison of parallel models).

This two-volume set provides comprehensive coverage of the field of computer organization and architecture.

This text provides an excellent balance of theory and application that enables you to deploy powerful algorithms, frameworks, and methodologies to solve complex optimization problems in a diverse range of industries. Each chapter is written by leading experts in the fields of parallel and distributed optimization.

This text is based on a simple and fully reactive computational model that allows for intuitive comprehension and logical designs. The principles and techniques presented can be applied to any distributed computing environment (e.g. , distributed systems, communication networks, data networks, grid networks, internet, etc.).

Extending beyond the classic approach by focusing on more advanced, accurate, and realistic models, this book investigates the concepts and techniques of task scheduling by developing a consistent and unifying theoretical framework.
