Synopsis

Client/Server applications are of increasing importance in industry, and have been improved by advanced distributed object-oriented techniques, dedicated tool support and both multimedia and mobile computing extensions. Recent responses to this trend are standardized distributed platforms and models including the Distributed Computing Environment (DCE) of the Open Software Foundation (OS F), Open Distributed Processing (ODP), and the Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) of the Object Management Group (OMG). These proceedings are the compilation of papers from the technical stream of the IFIPIIEEE International Conference on Distributed Platforms, Dresden, Germany. This conference has been sponsored by IFIP TC6.1, by the IEEE Communications Society, and by the German Association of Computer Science (GI -Gesellschaft fur Informatik). ICDP'96 was organized jointly by Dresden University of Technology and Aachen University of Technology. It is closely related to the International Workshop on OSF DCE in Karlsruhe, 1993, and to the IFIP International Conference on Open Distributed Processing. ICDP has been designed to bring together researchers and practitioners who are studying and developing new methodologies, tools and technologies for advanced client/server environ­ ments, distributed systems, and network applications based on distributed platforms.

About this title

Synopsis

This volume presents the latest research worldwide on distributed computing platforms. Topics include experiences with distributed applications and standardized platforms (DCE, CORBA, ODP, ONCH, ANSAware); distributed platforms in advanced development and research projects; and network services. Topics covered include: experiences with distributed applications and standardized platforms (DCE, CORBA, ODP, ONCH, ANSAware and others); distributed platforms in advanced development and research projects; network services (directory, security, file management, etc.); distributed application management; objects in distributed environments; trading concepts and open markets of distributed services; quality of service in distributed applications; and applications of mobile communication systems. This book should be of interest to computer scientists, end users of client/server systems, and engineers.
