Pattern-Oriented Software Architecture Volume 2: Patterns for Concurrent and Networked Objects. This item is unavailable.Pattern-Oriented Software Architecture Volume 2: Patterns for Concurrent and Networked Objects

Designing application and middleware software to run in concurrent and networked environments is a significant challenge to software developers. The patterns catalogued in this second volume of Pattern-Oriented Software Architectures (POSA) form the basis of a pattern language that addresses issues associated with concurrency and networking. The book presents 17 interrelated patterns ranging from idioms through architectural designs. They cover core elements of building concurrent and network systems: service access and configuration, event handling, synchronization, and concurrency. All patterns present extensive examples and known uses in multiple programming languages, including C++, C, and Java. The book can be used to tackle specific software development problems or read from cover to cover to provide a fundamental understanding of the best practices for constructing concurrent and networked applications and middleware. About the Authors This book has been written by the award winning team responsible for the first POSA volume "A System of Patterns", joined in this volume by Douglas C. Schmidt from University of California, Irvine (UCI), USA. Visit our Web Page

Pattern-Oriented Software Architecture Patterns for Concurrent and Distributed Objects

Designing software to run in a distributed or multi-threaded environment is a significant challenge facing developers. The patterns catalogued in this second volume of Pattern-oriented Software Architecture (POSA) form the basis of a pattern language which address issues associated with distribution, concurrency and networking.

The book presents 19 closely related patterns. They represent a range of patterns from idioms (in both Java and C++) through to architectural designs. The patterns cover the essential elements of building concurrent and distributed systems: service access, event handling, concurrency control, initialisation, transaction, and safety.

The book can be used to tackle specific problems or read from cover to cover to provide a fundamental understanding of how distributed and concurrent systems can be constructed.
