Well there's the International Journal of Parallel and Dist. Systems.
(Red cover).
There's the usual ACM (SIGOPS, ARCH, COMM) and IEEE Journals.
There's Local Networks and similar (see library).
There's IDCS, the Dist. Comp. Syst. Conference (just held in San Jose)
but has been somewhat uneven.

Big buzz words include: heterogeneity, transparency (as early as
1972 and still not "solved"), and fault-tolerance (oh, inter-operability).

Just spend some time in the library and get my bibliography.

Another gross generalization from
