Since the advent of the Internet in the 1970s, there has been a steady growth of new applications requiring distributed processing. This was enabled by advances in networking and hardware technology, falling cost of hardware, and greater end-user awareness. These factors contributed to making distributed computing a cost-effective, high-performance, and fault-tolerant reality. Around the turn of the millenium, there has been an explosive growth in the expansion and efficiency of the Internet, and a matching outreach of access to networked resources through the World Wide Web, all across the world. Coupled with an equally dramatic growth in the wireless and mobile networking areas, and plummeting prices of bandwidth and storage devices, we are witnessing a rapid spurt in distributed applications and an accompanying interest in the field of distributed computing in universities, governments organizations, and private institutions.  \nAdvances in hardware technology have suddenly made sensor networking a reality, and embedded and sensor networks are rapidly becoming an integral part of each person’s life – from the home network with the interconnected gadgets to the automobile communicating by GPS (Global Positioning System), to the fully networked office with RFID monitoring. In the emerging global village, distributed computing will be the centerpiece of all computing and information access sub-disciplines within computer science. Clearly, this is a very important field. Moreover, this evolving field is characterized by a diverse range of challenges for which the solutions need to have foundations on solid principles.  \nThe field of distributed computing is very important, and there is a huge demand for a good comprehensive book. The book comprehensively covers all important topics in a great depth. This book provides both the depth and the breadth of coverage of topics in conjunction with the clarity of explanation and ease of understanding. The book will be particularly valuable to the academic community and the computer industry at large. Writing such a comprehensive book is an herculean task and is a huge undertaking. There is a deep sense of satisfaction in knowing that we were able complete this major task and perform this service to the community.  \nDescription, Approach, and Features  \nThe book will focus on fundamental principles and models underlying all aspects of distributed computing. The book will address the principles underlying the theory, algorithms, and systems aspects of distributed computing. The manner of presentation of the algorithms is very lucid, explaining the main ideas and the intuition with figures and simple explanations rather than getting entangled in intimidating notations and lengthy and hard-to-follow rigorous proofs of the algorithms. The selection of chapter themes is broad and comprehensive, and the book covers all important topics in depth. The selection of algorithms within each chapter has been done carefully to elucidate new and important techniques of algorithm design.
