Scheduling in Distributed Computing Systems: Analysis, Design and Models intends to inculcate the innovative ideas for the scheduling aspect. Although the models in this book are designed for distributed systems, the same information is applicable for any type of system (i.e., where distributed processing is required). Scheduling in Distributed Computing Systems: Analysis, Design and Models will 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.
