Distributed Systems (Paperback)

This is the fourth edition of "Distributed Systems." We have stayed close to the setup of the third edition, including examples of (part of) existing distributed systems close to where general principles are discussed. For example, we have included material on blockchain systems, and discuss their various components throughout the book. We have, again, used special boxed sections for material that can be skipped at first reading.

The text has been thoroughly reviewed, revised, and updated. In particular, all the Python code has been updated to Python3, while at the same time the channel package has been almost completely revised and simplified.

Additional material, including coding examples, figures, and slides, are available at www.distributed-systems.net.

這是《分散式系統》的第四版。我們保持了第三版的架構，包括在討論一般原則時，提供現有分散式系統（部分）的例子。例如，我們加入了關於區塊鏈系統的內容，並在整本書中討論了它們的各個組件。同樣地，我們使用了特別的方框區域，以便在初次閱讀時可以跳過部分內容。

本書的內容經過了全面的審查、修訂和更新。特別是，所有的Python代碼都已更新為Python3，同時通道（channel）套件也經過了幾乎完全的修訂和簡化。

額外的資料，包括編碼範例、圖片和投影片，可以在www.distributed-systems.net上找到。
