| | Shrisha Rao has been a reviewer for Computing Reviews since July 2000, and has over 60 published reviews. He is on the faculty at IIIT-Bangalore (India). His research interests cluster primarily around the theory and practice of distributed computing, where he is particularly interested in distributed fair division and demand-side management. He also works with industry on certain problems with enterprise and large systems. Rao earned his PhD in computer science from the University of Iowa, after obtaining an MS in logic and computation from Carnegie Mellon University. -- Read our Q&A with Shrisha Rao here. |

Elements of distributed computing
Garg V., John Wiley & Sons, Inc., New York, NY, 2002. 423 pp. Type: Book (9780471036005), Reviews: (2 of 2)
Few would doubt that distributed computing is an important field of study, and that it is likely to become more important over time. As the paradigm for large-scale computation ceases to be the monolithic and very expensive supercompu...
