No, there is no successor yet, but there are plans to produce either a
sequel to the Distributed Systems book, or to make a thoroughly revised
edition of it.  In any case, the new material will consist of Butler
Lampson's lectures on security architectures, Fred Schneider, Ozalp
Babaoglu and Sam Toueg's material on theory of fault tolerance, clock
synchronization, agreement, and broadcast, material from myself on
distributed operating system internals, and, hopefully, everybody's
revisions of the existing material.  This book will probably not make
it to the bookstores before the spring of 1992.
