Distributed and Parallel Computing

Distributed and Parallel Computing, 1st Edition, authored by Sandhya Avasthi and Suman Lata Tripathi, examines how networked system architectures execute high-demand software workloads. Published by Wiley-Scrivener, the book explains how distributed computing setups enable computer programs to run across multiple interconnected machines to meet high-performance demands.

The authors explore how these parallel processing structures operate within specialized domain environments. The text details practical implementations across scientific computing, oil exploration, biotechnology, and medical research applications.

In addition to parallel processing fundamentals, the volume addresses intelligent system integration. Specific subject areas covered include adaptivity and learning mechanisms, multi-agent systems, formal argumentation, and case-based reasoning. The 368-page print edition offers structured coverage of parallel algorithms and intelligent network environments.
