Distributed Systems Engineering

"Focusing on the integration of processing, storage and communication subsystems within a distributed or networked system, this journal concentrates on practical engineering approaches."

Distributed Systems Engineering is published jointly with The British Computer Society and The Institution of Electrical Engineers.

Common topics include:

• Distributed processing: distributed processing architecture, distributed operating systems and environments, standards and open distributed processing, configuration and management of distributed systems, computer architecture support for distributed processing, language support for distributed processing, algorithms and protocols to support distributed processing
• Computer networks: local, metropolitan and wide area networks, network architectures and protocols, network management, communications and network standards, open systems interconnection (OSI), multiservice networks
• Storage and databases: data modelling, distributed databases, distributed transaction processing, information retrieval and transformation, object stores, information and file servers, hypermedia systems
