I have been asked to teach a graduate course on "Distributed
Computing/Systems" in the next Spring. I need to decide on a
course outline (topics), textbook and/or recommended books
for reading and possible project assignments. I have not yet
decided whether to emphasize more on distributed algorithms
or in-depth discussion of available systems like Amoeba or
Mach. I'm sure a course like this has been taught many times
in many schools in the past. I'll be grateful if you please
share your experience with me so that I can design a better
course. Specifically I'd like to hear about textbooks,
selection of papers, topics that must be included in such a
course, lab assignments. I'll appreciate any and every
guidance you can give me in designing the course. And of
course, I'll post a summary if there is interest. Thank you
very much for your time.
