Books in the Wiley Series on Parallel and Distributed Computing series

Internet-based business transactions can be broken down into a series of independent steps. This workflow often involves tools from an array of fields, such as network modeling, scheduling, distributed systems, artificial intelligence, software agents, and Java. This book deals with this topic.

This book offers comprehensive coverage of wireless networks and mobile computing with an emphasis on computer science and system considerations rather than devices. It offers detailed, practical discussion of topics such as cellular networks, channel assignment, queuing, power optimization, and more.

The complexity of today's information processing requirements, coupled with the availability of powerful computers, have boosted the interest in the study, design, and analysis of parallel algorithms. Introduction to Parallel Algorithms responds to the need in the field for an easy-to-understand text in this growth area of computer science.

The rapid expansion of the Internet has made parallel and distributed stimulation (PADS) a hot technology indeed. It is now used not only to analyze the behavior of such systems as air traffic control or future communication networks, but also in computer generated "virtual worlds" such as flight simulation training devices and computer wargames.

This text provides an excellent balance of theory and application that enables you to deploy powerful algorithms, frameworks, and methodologies to solve complex optimization problems in a diverse range of industries. Each chapter is written by leading experts in the fields of parallel and distributed optimization.

Parallel Metaheuristics provides a single, up-to-date reference on parallel metaheuristic issues. This comprehensive book presents modern and ongoing research information on using, designing, and analyzing efficient models of parallel algorithms (numeric and real-time efficiency, algorithms, comparison of parallel models).

The first single-source reference covering the state of the art in grid and utility computing economy researchThis book presents the first integrated, single-source reference on market-oriented grid and utility computing.

Computer architecture deals with the physical configuration, logical structure, formats, protocols, and operational sequences for processing data, controlling the configuration, and controlling the operations over a computer. This book presents fundamentals of computer organization and architecture.

This is the first book to explain the language Unified Parallel C and its use. Authors El-Ghazawi, Carlson, and Sterling are among the developers of UPC, with close links with the industrial members of the UPC consortium. Their text covers background material on parallel architectures and algorithms, and includes UPC programming case studies.

Focuses on the area of parallel and distributed computing, and considers the diverse approaches. Covering a comprehensive set of models and paradigms, this book serves as both an introduction and a survey. It is suitable for students and can be used as a foundation for parallel and distributed computing courses.

Computer architecture deals with the physical configuration, logical structure, formats, protocols, and operational sequences for processing data, controlling the configuration, and controlling the operations over a computer.

Divided into three parts, this work provides an introduction to the theory of distributed computing. It covers the fundamental models, issues, and techniques. It is organized around key simulations in distributed computing, and their applications.
