Distributed Object Architectures With Corba

Distributed Object Architectures with CORBA is a guide to designing software comprised of distributed components. While it is based on OMG's Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) standard, the principles also apply to architecture built with other technology (such as Microsoft's DCOM). As ORB products evolve to incorporate new additions to CORBA, the knowledge and experience required to build stable and scalable systems is not widespread. With this volume the reader can develop the skills and knowledge that are necessary for building such systems. The book assumes a familiarity with object-oriented concepts and the basics of CORBA. Software developers who are new to building systems with CORBA-based technologies will find this a useful guide to effective development.

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.

"This book breaks the mold...by taking the reader through the entire spectrum of the distributed object approach, from requirements analysis through systems development, with a thorough treatment of relevant standards." -Dr. Richard M. Soley, Technical Director, Object Management Group Inside CORBA is a comprehensive and authoritative guide to distributed object architecture, software development, and CORBA (Common Object Request Broker Architecture) standards. CORBA is a consensus standard from industry that has transformed the way information systems are developed, both for creating distributed object-oriented systems and for migrating legacy systems to modern architecture. This must-read for all managers, architects, and developers of distributed systems begins by addressing the key organizational challenges to the adoption of CORBA and the essential management guidance necessary to ensure its success. Following this introduction, the authors present a user guide to the CORBA standards, complete with examples of their application. The user guide also features in-depth coverage of the Interface Definition Language (IDL), including the latest presentation of the new CORBA IDL Language Mapping for Java, and comprehensive information on the CORBA 2 standard and the CORBAservices. In addition, this book provides invaluable technical assistance on the application of CORBA by sharing essential lessons learned from experienced CORBA managers and architects and through the presentation of a case study. 0201895404B04062001

Serving as a tutorial, guidebook and reference all in one, this text offers a clear explanation of CORBA and provides a complete reference to the standard. More importantly, it shows how to use the standard for distribution applications development, with numerous extensive case studies and examples illustrating how to put CORBA to work.

This document intends to offer a detailed discussion of selected distributed object-oriented architectures at conceptual level. The first part of the discussion offers a comprehensive overview of the Socket architecture in Java 2 and Berkeley UNIX and the distributed object model of Java Remote Method Invocation and the Common Object Request Broker Architecture. The second part concludes the discussion with a comparative study of selected features with emphasis on the Common Object Request Broker Architecture and Java Remote Method Invocation. Major Issues Include The TCP/IP Protocol Suite. We provide an introductory overview of the TCP/IP protocol suite and its architecture including layers and protocols. The TCP/IP architecture is based on three concepts: processes, layers and protocols. Sockets in Berkeley Unix. We present the Berkeley UNIX socket architecture in relation to the Internet communication domain and illustrate connection-oriented and a connectionless models of communication. Sockets in Java 2. We describe the Java 2 socket architecture, outline selected socket operations, introduce related packages and classes and conclude with a framework for a connection-oriented and connectionless model of communication. Remote Method Invocation in Java 2. We present a distributed object model in Java RMI, provide an overview of related interfaces, classes and packages and discuss security related issues. We conclude with the development of a framework for a distributed object application. Common Object Request Broker Architecture. We introduce a distributed object model for the Common Object Request Broker Architecture and outline design concepts including the Interface Definition Language and the Interoperable Naming Service. We conclude with the development of a framework for a distributed object application. Comparative Study of Distributed Architectures. We present a comparative study of socket architectures and distributed object models introduced in part o

This book provides graduate students and practitioners with knowledge of the CORBA standard and practical experience of implementing distributed systems with CORBA's Java mapping. With tested code examples that will run immediately!

Market_Desc: The book is useful for the following readers:· Undergraduate students in IT and CSE courses. This is offered as a core paper in autonomous colleges like PSG College of Technology (CSE & IT) and Coimbatore Institute of Technology· BSc (CT) students as an elective· MCA students of Autonomous Colleges like PSG College of Technology, Avinashilingam Deemed University and CIT.· This subject is also offered as a core subject in VI Semester for BE (IT) students of Anna University. · Currently there are separate books used as reference for DCOM, CORBA and J2EE. Hence this book will serve as a single text book for the subject.· This book can be used as a reference to programmers in Component Technology· This book can be used as a reference by students to pursue their research in Grid Technology and Advanced Software Architecture· Helpful for research-oriented students to do mini-project in the area of Component Technology· It will be useful for software architects, system integrators and internet solution developers and consultants Special Features: · This book can be used as a reference for the readers who want to get an introduction as well as a detailed knowledge of component technology· It can be used by readers who want to get an in depth knowledge on different Distributed Object Technologies namely RMI, CORBA, DCOM and EJB· It has example programs for each type of technology. If possible, a CD with examples can be supplied for the readers to execute and see the examples· Currently three separate books are used as a reference for CORBA, DCOM and EJB. No single text book is available for this purpose. The proposed book will help to overcome this disadvantage· It can be used by software engineers and by academicians About The Book: Distributed Software Systems are subject to frequent changes. Middleware plays an important role in the development of evolvable systems. RMI, CORBA, DCOM and EJB are mechanisms to create, deploy and deal with object-oriented components in a distributed environment. Java s contribution in distributed computing is to provide platform-independent, low-level code that can be dynamically loaded and linked. CORBA provides platform and programming language independence in a heterogeneous distributed environment. EJB and DCOM are distributed component models put forth by Sun Microsystems and Microsoft respectively. This book brings together the major object models used in distributed computing - RMI, CORBA, DCOM and EJB. This book is beneficial for all IT professionals and students. This book aims at explaining the features of DCOM, CORBA, RMI, CCM, EJB, and JavaBeans.
