I'm looking for references to books (as opposed to papers) on distributed systems. I've seen the Coulouris & Dollimore reference; any other pointers would be appreciated. Please mail to me, I will post a summary if there is interest. Thanks, Jennifer Steiner steiner@athena.mit.edu MIT Project Athena

I have been using Maekawa, Oldehoeft, and Oldehoeft. Seems to be quite readable, with good references Steve (really "D. E.")

>From article <5964@saturn.ucsc.edu>, by steiner@athena.mit.edu: > I'm looking for references to books (as opposed to papers) > on distributed systems. Well, I just got this two days ago so I haven't looked at it too carefully, but: "Networks and Distributed Computation: Concepts, Tools, and Algorithms", by Michel Raynal, MIT Press. Definitely not a textbook, but appears to be a good survey. Dave Wagner

Below is a compilation of references for books on distributed systems,
based on responses I received to a note I posted to this group a while
ago. Several people expressed interest in seeing the list, so I'm
posting it. Thanks to the following people who responded:
Darrell Long
David Stevens
Thomas Mookken
Jack Jansen
tdw%computer-lab.cambridge.ac.uk@NSS.Cs.Ucl.AC.UK
David Keppel
Sacha Krakowiak
Chandran Elamvazuthi
Paul Muller
Not all references are complete, but I've included them anyway. If
anyone comes up with more information for the incomplete ones (or new
references), could you send it to me, and I'll post an update at some
point.
Jennifer Steiner
P.S. Not all of these references fit under my definition
of "distributed systems". But that's another topic...
This is simply a compilation of responses.
