Synopsis
Constructing a distributed system is quite different from using one to create applications that can perform in a distributed environment. While other books simply focus on the building of infrastructures, this one shows the reader how to create these applications on top of distributed components. This unique approach will help software developers achieve portability and provide multi-user access over networks. Divided into two parts -- Concepts: Infrastructures for Distributed Objects (Java, Microsoft DCOM, OMG/CORBA); and Common Design Problems -- this book provides the latest technology developments.

"This remarkable book tackles distributed systems in relation to object–orientation and middle–ware. Anyone designing systems today should have a copy of this book on the shelf."

From the Back Cover
Wolfgang Emmerich Engineering Distributed Objects The pay–offs for creating distributed applications are in achieving portability, scalability and fault–tolerance. In order to simplify building software that performs robustly regardless of platform or network infrastructure, a new strata of ′middleware′ has been created. This book provides a conceptual framework within which to describe object–oriented middleware for the integration of distributed objects. UML is used to explain distributed systems concepts. Presenting both an extended case study and smaller illustrative examples, there are plenty of coded examples in Java, C++, CORBA IDL and Microsoft IDL, which reflect the reality of today′s multi–language heterogeneous systems. This is a book for developers who are new to programming in distributed environments. It also supports a variety of courses where the central theme is object–oriented development with middleware technologies. The book shows the middleware concepts and principles using examples taken from: ∗ OMG/CORBA ∗ Microsoft COM ∗ Java/RMI On the accompanying website (http://www.distributed–objects.com) are exercises, sample solutions and working code for the examples. This site is also designed for instructors to assist them with course development and delivery.
