Building Scalable Network Services

Book Description
Building Scalable Network Services: Theory and Practice is on building scalable network services on the Internet or in a network service provider's network. The focus is on network services that are provided through the use of a set of servers. The authors present a tiered scalable network service model and evaluate various services within this architecture. The service model simplifies design tasks by implementing only the most basic functionalities at lower tiers where the need for scalability dominates functionality. The book includes a number of theoretical results that are practical and applicable to real networks, such as building network-wide measurement, monitoring services, and strategies for building better P2P networks. Various issues in scalable system design and placement algorithms for service nodes are discussed. Using existing network services as well as potentially new but useful services as examples, the authors formalize the problem of placing service nodes and provide practical solutions for them.

Book Description
In mid-December, 1944, the men of the US 106th Infantry Division were holding part of the front line that protruded into Nazi Germany when Hitler launched a massive surprise offensive. Thousands of German infantry in white camouflage supported by hundreds of heavy guns, and whitewashed tanks-including huge Tiger IIs-overran the American positions. Out-numbered and often without communication with neighboring units, American GIs fought stubbornly. Many died at their posts, others grudgingly withdrew under tremendous pressure to then turn and fight again. But while the Allied high command strove to determine the extent of the Nazi offensive, and began to shit units to combat it, two entire regiments of the 106th Infantry were surrounded. The men were forced to choose between surrender or attempt a perilous escape. Fight to Survive tells the stories of men who fought to stem the German onslaught. These American infantrymen, armored cavalrymen, engineers, artillerymen, and Service and Supply technicians fought bravely against overwhelming odds. Ultimately, some decided to take their chances on escape and evasion rather than surrender. The man who took it upon himself to rally some of these soldiers is First Lieutenant Arthur Hill, whose experiences are based on a real American hero whose exploits are the stuff of legend. Fight to Survive also tells the story of a highly-decorated Nazi SS major. Karl Grabner's one aim is to return to combat duty after having been severely wounded on the Russian front. He is a Nazi, and a realist. He knows that Germany will not win the war and is determined to lead a combat unit one last time so that he can die in battle. But the story would not be complete without including the Belgian civilians of the Maris family who help the GIs in the nearby forest at the risk of arrest or summary execution. Fight to Survive is the first book of the three-part series Still in the Woods. Book two, Behind Enemy Lines, is now in publication. The final book, Forest Battles, is scheduled for publication in summer of 2015.
