Engineering Distributed Objects

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.
