George and Jean's visit to China December 2001
The idea of this
visit to China arose on October 22 when we received the following
email message from Prof. Chen Baojue (who was our host during
our 1985 visit you can read our report of that trip here):
"An American
professor was invited to give the 'Distributed Systems' course
for graduate students of our department this semester. But he
has to quit right now. Since he uses your book as the textbook
for this course, the chairman of our department, Prof. Li Xiaoming
asked me to send you a message to see if there is any possibility
for you to come to China to give the course in similar way to
the one you gave in Peking University, in 1985."
