Title
Distributed Computing: A LocalitySensitive Approach (Monographs on Discrete Mathematics and Applications, Series Number 5),Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
This volume presents the localitysensitive approach to distributed network algorithmsthe utilization of locality to simplify control structures and algorithms and reduce their costs. The author begins with an introductory exposition of distributed network algorithms focusing on topics that illustrate the role of locality in distributed algorithmic techniques. He then introduces localitypreserving network representations and describes sequential and distributed techniques for their construction. Finally, the applicability of the localitysensitive approach is demonstrated through several applications. Distributed Computing: A LocalitySensitive Approach is the only book that gives a thorough exposition of network spanners and other localitypreserving network representations such as sparse covers and partitions. The book is useful for computer scientists interested in distributed computing, electrical engineers interested in network architectures and protocols, and for discrete mathematicians and graph theorists.
