Sergio Rajsbaum · ACM SIGACT News · 2001
The Distributed Computing Column covers the theory of systems that are composed of a number of interacting computing elements. These include problems of communication and networking, databases, distributed shared memory, multiprocessor architectures, operating systems, verification, internet, and the web.This issue consists of two guest contributions: A review of the DISC 2000 Conference by Lisa Higham, and a routing survey by Cyril Gavoille. This survey focuses on routing messages in distributed networks with efficient data structures. After an overview of the various results of the literature, some interestingly open problems are described. Many thanks to Lisa and Cyril!
