Kenneth P. Birman

Highly Assured Distributed Computing

Overcoming The Web Services and Distributed Systems Reliability Barrier

Some of you had trouble getting the book at the above link, so you can also now find it on the CMS system.

Ken’s book is available online. This book is hot off the press---in fact, it is so hot it hasn’t gone to press yet. Ken has been revising it during this summer. Though the content is solid, there are likely to be many typos remaining (several hundred?). Ken is offering $1 for each typo found. The typos will be listed at http://kens-typos.blogspot.com. I will be sending each of you an invitation to join this blog so that you may post your typos. Note the format for typo postings, and please look to see if anyone has posted the typo already before you post it. The $1 will go to the first person to post the typo. It is solely up to Ken to decide if your submitted typo is in fact a typo.

To get a paper copy, go to Gnomon printers on 407 Eddy Street in College Town (277-9186). Tell them it is for CS514…they should have a copy to sell you. (I think it $.06 per page, so about $33.)
