About This Book
This is a book about patterns for resource management in software systems. The patterns provide solutions for problems that are typically encountered by software architects and developers when trying to provide an effective and efficient means of managing resources in a software system. Efficient management of resources is critical in the execution of any kind of software. From embedded software in a mobile device to software in a large enterprise server, it is important that resources, such as memory, threading, files, or network connections, are managed efficiently to allow the systems to function properly and effectively.
The first volume of the Pattern Oriented Software Architecture (POSA) series [POSA1] introduced a broad-spectrum of general-purpose patterns in software design and architecture. The second volume of the series [POSA2] narrowed the focus to fundamental patterns for building sophisticated concurrent and networked software systems and applications. This volume uses patterns to present techniques for implementing effective resource management in a system.
The patterns in this book are covered in detail and make use of several examples. As with the previous POSA volumes, the book provides directions to the readers on how to implement the patterns presented. Additionally, the volume presents a thorough introduction to resource management, and two case studies, in which the patterns are applied to two different domains. The patterns presented are independent ...
