Synopsis

Distributed Object Computing teaches readers the fundamentals of CORBA, the leading architecture for design of software used in parallel and distributed computing applications. Since CORBA is based on open standards, it is the only effective way to learn object-oriented programming for distributed systems. This language independent book allows material to be taught using Java, C++ or other Object Oriented Programming Languages.

About this title

From the Back Cover:

A comprehensive, language-independent resource for understanding and using CORBA-based distributed object systems

CORBA has become the de facto standard architecture system for writing software used in parallel and distributed computing applications. Fundamentals of Distributed Object Systems: The CORBA Perspective is a language-independent reference-written for use with Java, C++, or other object-oriented programming languages-and offers total coverage of CORBA for professionals who must learn to use it or require a reference to do so more effectively. Detailed analyses of the theoretical and practical fundamentals of CORBA, technical concepts, and solutions related to the problems of software and database interoperability are thoroughly discussed.

This is an excellent resource for technicians implementing efficient client/server applications or performing advanced research in distributed systems. Authors Tari and Bukhres provide a theoretical, technical, and practical perspective on CORBA and end each chapter with illustrative examples and helpful exercises. Coverage also includes:
* A detailed review of distributed system technologies, including middlewares
* Dealing with specific requirements such as heterogeneity and scalability
* Technical aspects of CORBA such as adaptor components, inter-ORB protocols, and performance
* Primary services of CORBA, with details/hints on how such services can be implemented for large-scale distributed applications
* Basic and advanced programming of CORBA applications
* Fundamentals of CORBA from conceptual, design, implementation, and programming perspectives
