Although the models in this book have been designed for distributed computing systems, the same information is applicable for any type of system that requires distributed processing. Scheduling in Distributed Computing Systems: Analysis, Design and Models is supposed to dramatically improve the design and management of the processes for industry professionals. This book deals exclusively with the scheduling aspect, which finds little space in other distributed operating system books. Scheduling in Distributed Computing Systems: Analysis, Design and Models is 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.
