Fault-Tolerant Message-Passing Distributed Systems

Mehr zum Buch

Focusing on fault-tolerant distributed programming, the book introduces essential abstractions and algorithms crucial for reliable communication and consensus in distributed applications. It addresses challenges like asynchrony, process crashes, message losses, and Byzantine faults. The author presents concepts incrementally, beginning with clear specifications and progressing to intuitive algorithm descriptions, culminating in formal correctness proofs. This structured approach equips software designers and programmers with the tools needed to navigate complex distributed systems effectively.
