This page refers to the 2nd edition<\/span> of Distributed Systems<\/h2>\n

Goals<\/h2>\n

Distributed systems often appear to be highly complex and intertwined networked systems. Touching one component often affects many others in surprising ways. In this book, we aim at explaining the basics of distributed systems by systematically taking different perspectives, and subsequently bringing these perspectives together by looking at often-applied organizations of distributed systems. The book is now in its second edition and has been updated to its third edition (expected to be available in February 2017).<\/p>\n
