Broad and up-to-date coverage of the principles and practice in the fast moving area of Distributed Systems.
Distributed Systems provides students of computer science and engineering with the skills they will need to design and maintain software for distributed applications. It will also be invaluable to software engineers and systems designers wishing to understand new and future developments in the field.
From mobile phones to the Internet, our lives depend increasingly on distributed systems linking computers and other devices together in a seamless and transparent way. The fifth edition of this best-selling text continues to provide a comprehensive source of material on the principles and practice of distributed computer systems and the exciting new developments based on them, using a wealth of modern case studies to illustrate their design and development. The depth of coverage will enable students to evaluate existing distributed systems and design new ones.

I used this for a D.S. class. It explains concepts pretty well. Some of the topics seem out of date, but it does a good job of going over the over-arching concepts of D.S. This book would be helpful to any student or practitioner who wants to build a D.S. or write applications which interact with D.S.Product details

Distributed Systems eBook George Coulouris Jean Dollimore Tim Kindberg Gordon Blair Reviews
Limited reader licence!
With all the applications out there being (slowly) converted from sad monoliths into fast distributed microservices, the interest in distributed systems has obviously skyrocketed. I am not sure if it's because it's huge or because it's the fifth edition (suggesting the previous four were successful), but among the many titles available this felt like the one to start with. It is not.
The book is divided into parts (seven by heart) and a nice schema shows us how we can move in case we are only interested in a particular area (say security). Starting with the first chapter already, reading the book feels like listening to a long and very generic talk about some basic concept of telecommunication/computer networks. Next to these we find, instead, that the authors dive deeply into unnecessary details, such as the UDP protocol.
Let's face it. Anyone working with distributed systems must know the difference between TCP and UDP and the pros/cons of both. These concepts are usually taught during the very first computer networks class at the university, were the ISO/OSI stack is analyzed in great detail. Distributed systems should be the next step. Those concepts should be taken for granted.
What is the point of discussing the UDP datagram or how Java supports sending data over UDP in a Distributed systems title? Again, do we really need to be explained the difference between little endian and big endian here?
The book is well written, no doubts about this. But it fails to deliver real value to anyone interested in distributed systems. I was honestly expecting real life scenarios, discussions about highly-availability, scaling, how to deal with failures, security, just to mention some. None of this is given to the readers.
A big disappointment. Not to mention the price of the hardcover book, which is way beyond its real value or the price any book should have (180$). Knowledge should be easily accesible.
Covers algorithms in real code examples - good reference material. If you use java this is a great book to read
One of the best books for studying Distributed Systems.
Good book, but did not got chance to read completely.
Coulouris et al have created a very solid tome on Distributed Systems. Be forewarned, however - other reviewers have complained that the English is difficult and the book is too much for an undergraduate course. That might be true, but this book is targeted more for professionals and graduate students (I've been in I.T. for 25 years, have worked with multiple systems from mainframe down to mobile devices; this is a text for my current Master's program). As such, it should be expected that it isn't light reading, nor should it be assumed the English would be simple - critiquing a comp sci book for this is specious (somewhat akin to complaining about an anatomy text book "why is there so much Latin?").
The authors go into deep detail on all aspects of distributed systems, outline case studies (Bit Torrent and Google among them), provide ample references (the references alone make this a useful book - I'd go so far as to say if you're not reading any of the referenced papers, you're not using this book properly and you might not be in the correct field of study), and lay out very interesting exercises. In a nutshell, if you're serious about distributed systems and consider yourself a professional, this is a worthy addition to your library.
This is one of the better textbooks I've used.
This book does a good job of balancing theory and practice. Much of the information here is immensely practical and I've used it as reference material for software engineering projects I've worked on.
Generally, it is fairly engaging (as engineering textbooks go) and easy to understand.
This book covers a wide variety of topics. On the one hand, this is great because it provides you with a good overview of the topic. On the other hand, sometimes this leaves you wishing for a little more on certain topics. For example, it's got some great information on Web Services, but if you go to actually implement one you'll need another book with more details on how to do that.
Overall, I recommend this textbook. This is one of the textbooks I've actually kept after finishing the course.
