Pattern-Oriented Software Architecture, Volume 2, Patterns for Concurrent and Networked Objects
by Douglas C. Schmidt, Michael Stal, Hans Rohnert, Frank Buschmann
About This Book
Patterns have taken the software development community by storm. Software developers have been enthusiastic about patterns ever since the seminal work Design Patterns – Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software [GoF95]. Its successors, such as the Pattern Languages of Programming Design (PLoPD) series [PLoPD1] [PLoPD2] [PLoPD3] [PLoPD4] and A System of Patterns [POSA1]1 have further fanned the burning interest in patterns kindled originally by earlier work on software idioms [Cope92], patterns for building architectures [Ale79] [AIS77], and patterns for cultural anthropology [Bat97].
This book, Patterns for Concurrent and Networked Objects, is the second volume in the Pattern-Oriented Software Architecture (POSA) series. Like its predecessor, A System of Patterns [POSA1], it documents patterns and best practices that represent concrete, well-proven and useful techniques for building industrial-strength software systems. These patterns and best practices can and have been applied to applications in a wide range of domains, including telecommunications and data communications, financial services, medical engineering, aerospace, manufacturing process control, and scientific computing. They also form the basis of popular distributed object computing middleware, such as CORBA [OMG98c], COM+ [Box97], Java RMI [WRW96], and Jini [Sun99a].
Moreover, all the patterns in this book build on the same solid conceptual foundation as those in the first POSA volume. For example, ...
