Books in the Wiley Series on Parallel and Distributed Computing series

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.

A sequel to Mobile Processing in Distributed and Open Environments (Wiley, 1999), this title introduces an extended, universal WAVE-WP model for distributed processing and control in dynamic and open worlds of any natures.

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.
