Description & Coverage
Description:

As software and computer hardware grows in complexity, networks have grown to match. The increasing scale, complexity, heterogeneity, and dynamism of communication networks, resources, and applications has made distributed computing systems brittle, unmanageable, and insecure.

Internet and Distributed Computing Advancements: Theoretical Frameworks and Practical Applications is a vital compendium of chapters on the latest research within the field of distributed computing, capturing trends in the design and development of Internet and distributed computing systems that leverage autonomic principles and techniques. The chapters provided within this collection offer a holistic approach for the development of systems that can adapt themselves to meet requirements of performance, fault tolerance, reliability, security, and Quality of Service (QoS) without manual intervention.

Coverage:

The many academic areas covered in this publication include, but are not limited to:

  • Advances in Internet Architectures and Protocols
  • Autonomous Distributed Systems
  • Content Delivery Networks
  • Dynamic Resource Provisioning
  • Energy Efficient Autonomic Systems
  • Security in Communication Networks
  • Self-Managing Grid Systems
  • Sensor Network Data Management
  • SLA Negotiation
  • Virtualized Environments
Reviews & Statements

This book entitled Internet and Distributed Computing Advancements: Theoretical Frameworks and Practical Applications, focuses on theoretical frameworks and practical applications.
