With double-digit growth predicted in industry, today's students need to learn cloud computing to successfully enter the workforce. Distributed and Cloud Computing brings the principles of cloud computing to distributed system courses. Starting with an overview of modern distributed models, the book exposes the design principles, systems architecture, and innovative applications of parallel, distributed, and cloud computing systems. It teaches how to create high-performance, scalable, reliable systems for research, e-commerce, social networking, supercomputing, and more, with examples from open-sources and commercial applications. Features Complete coverage of modern distributed computing technology including clusters, the grid, service-oriented architecture, massively parallel processors, peer-to-peer networking, and cloud computing Includes case studies from the leading distributed computing vendors: Amazon, Microsoft, Google, and more Designed for undergraduate or graduate students taking a distributed systems course-each chapter includes exercises and further reading, with lecture slides and more available online About The Author Kai Hwang, Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and Director Internet/Cloud Computing Research Laboratory, University of Southern California.
