Scheduling in Distributed Computing Systems: Analysis, Design and Models (Edition. 2nd Printing. 200

This book intends to inculcate the innovative ideas for the scheduling aspect in distributed computing systems. It deals exclusively with the scheduling aspect, which finds little space in other distributed operating system books. Although the models in this book have been designed for distributed systems, the same information is applicable for any type of system (i.e., where distributed processing is required). The book will dramatically improve the design and management of the processes for industry professionals. Structured for a professional audience composed of researchers and practitioners in industry, this book is also suitable as a reference for graduate-level students in management sciences, and computer science for distributed computing system classes.
