"Barbosa makes the otherwise difficult subject of distributed algorithms very enjoyable and attractive to both students and researchers. The leading intuitive discussion of each algorithm is so very well organized and clearly written that a reader can, without the slightest effort, have a clear picture of it. An ideal textbook for an one-semester distributed algorithms course." -Mamoru Maekawa, Professor, Graduate School of Information Systems, University of Electro-Communications, Tokyo
