Theory and Practice in Distributed Systems International Workshop, Dagstuhl Castle, Germany, September 5 - 9, 1994. Selected Papers

This volume is based on the workshop "Unifying Theory and Practice in Distributed Systems" held in Schloß Dagstuhl, Germany in September 1994. During the past 20 years, a substantial theoretical and practical base has evolved in the area of distributed computing. However, this work has bee...
