Reader Reviews
I am a faculty member in Computer Science at Georgia Southwestern State University, USA. I have used this book for a course on Distributed Operating Systems for graduate students. During the process of selecting a book for this course, I have looked into a number of books on this topic. Finally I selected this book due to the following reasons: 1. The content is clear start from the beginning. 2. Same (lucid) style of explanation throughout the book. 3. The material is complete in so many aspects. 4. Up to date (till the date of publication). 5. A clever student can read it and understand on his/her own. What else I want? Great job!! I am looking forward for the second edition of this book!
