Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This books is a must for someone who is not familiar with distributed databases (both for graduate students and practitioners). It will quickly bring you up to speed. It contains enough depth with respect to the algorithms to give the reader a good grasp of the concepts. However, if the reader wants to implement the concepts then he needs to have systems experience. The book does not contain enough implementation details with respect to real systems. In the next edition, for each of the chapters the authors should talk about the algorithms used by real commercial products (such as Oracle, Informix and DB2). The parallel database chapter and the object databases chapter are both for the most part excellent. The book does not contain replication consistency protocols and the object DBMS transaction section is quite weak. The second edition is definitely a major improvement over the first edition and this book is definitely Number 1 in the distributed databases area.

This third edition of a classic textbook can be used to teach at the senior undergraduate and graduate levels. The material concentrates on fundamental theories as well as techniques and algorithms. The advent of the Internet and the World Wide Web, and, more recently, the emergence of cloud computing and streaming data applications, has forced a renewal of interest in distributed and parallel data management, while, at the same time, requiring a rethinking of some of the traditional techniques. This book covers the breadth and depth of this re-emerging field. The coverage consists of two parts. The first part discusses the fundamental principles of distributed data management and includes distribution design, data integration, distributed query processing and optimization, distributed transaction management, and replication. The second part focuses on more advanced topics and includes discussion of parallel database systems, distributed object management, peer-to-peer data management, web data management, data stream systems, and cloud computing. New in this Edition: ' New chapters, covering database replication, database integration, multidatabase query processing, peer-to-peer data management, and web data management. ' Coverage of emerging topics such as data streams and cloud computing ' Extensive revisions and updates based on years of class testing and feedback Ancillary teaching materials are available.
