Future requirements for computing speed, system reliability, and cost-effectiveness entail the development of alternative computers to replace the traditional von Neumann organization. As computing networks come into being, one of the latest dreams is now possible - distributed computing. Distributed computing brings transparent access to as much computer power and data as the user needs for accomplishing any given task - simultaneously achieving high performance and reliability.The subject of distributed computing is diverse, and many researchers are investigating various issues concerning the structure of hardware and the design of distributed software. Distributed System Design defines a distributed system as one that looks to its users like an ordinary system, but runs on a set of autonomous processing elements (PEs) where each PE has a separate physical memory space and the message transmission delay is not negligible. With close cooperation among these PEs, the system supports an arbitrary number of processes and dynamic extensions.Distributed System Design outlines the main motivations for building a distributed system, including:

Multiprocessor platforms play important roles in modern computing systems, and appear in various applications, ranging from energy-limited hand-held devices to large data centers. As the performance requirements increase, energy-consumption in these systems also increases significantly. Dynamic Voltage and Frequency Scaling (DVFS), which allows processors to dynamically adjust the supply voltage and the clock frequency to operate on different power/energy levels, is considered an effective way to achieve the goal of energy-saving. This book surveys existing works that have been on energy-aware task scheduling on DVFS multiprocessor platforms.

This book introduces cutting-edge methods on security in spectrum management, mobile networks and next-generation wireless networks in the era of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML). This book includes four parts: (a) Architecture Innovations and Security in 5G Networks, (b) Security in Artificial Intelligence-enabled Intrusion Detection Systems. (c) Attack and Defense in Artificial Intelligence-enabled Wireless Systems, (d) Security in Network-enabled Applications. The first part discusses the architectural innovations and security challenges of 5G networks, highlighting novel network structures and strategies to counter vulnerabilities. The second part provides a comprehensive analysis of intrusion detection systems and the pivotal role of AI and machine learning in defense and vulnerability assessment. The third part focuses on wireless systems, where deep learning is explored to enhance wireless communication security. The final part broadens the scope, examining the applications of these emerging technologies in network-enabled fields.

The advancement of AI/ML has led to new opportunities for efficient tactical communication and network systems, but also new vulnerabilities. Along this direction, innovative AI-driven solutions, such as game-theoretic frameworks and zero-trust architectures are developed to strengthen defenses against sophisticated cyber threats. Adversarial training methods are adopted to augment this security further. Simultaneously, deep learning techniques are emerging as effective tools for securing wireless communications and improving intrusion detection systems. Additionally, distributed machine learning, exemplified by federated learning, is revolutionizing security model training. Moreover, the integration of AI into network security, especially in cyber-physical systems, demands careful consideration to ensure it aligns with the dynamics of these systems.

This book is valuable for academics, researchers, and students in AI/ML, network security, and related fields. It serves as a resource for those in computer networks, AI, ML, and data science, and can be used as a reference or secondary textbook.
