Reader Reviews
This book is neither a book in distributed applications neither a book about web services. It is true thta the author makes an introduction of both and in the case of the web services he takes a look to the latest standards related to reliability. From my point of view, the book talks about how to enhace the reliability of a distributed software application using static and dynamic groups. The author thinks that solving the life cycle problem of the nodes in a distributed aplication (create and destroy nodes, joint and leave groups, heart beat, and so on) is the necessary step towards a reliable distributed application. I think it is an interesting point, however I am not convinced at all. Perhaps, I should read it again. I really recommend it. For a more straight forward introduction to the subject perhaps is better to start with the classics Tanenbaum or Colouris books.
