Book Description
This book is a thoroughly revised and updated version of "Object Oriented Client/Server Internet Environments" by the same author. Suitable for professional development and IS/IT courses, this book presents a comprehensive coverage of the technical as well as business/management aspects of modern distributed computing environments. Instead of one narrow topic, this classroom tested book covers the major building blocks (modern distributed applications, middleware services, Web Services, mobile computing platforms, eCommerce/eBusiness platforms, component-based architectures, and enterprise application integration). Numerous real-life case studies and examples highlight the key points.
Publisher Description
Third Generation Distributed Computing Environments (3GDCEs) provide a collection of powerful services to support the e-business and m-business initiatives of today and tomorrow. Specifically, 3GDCEs comprise a wide range of middleware services; Web Services that allow components to be published, discovered, selected, and invoked over the Web; and platforms that package many services to support mobile computing and EC/EB applications. This book gives a systematic analysis of 3GDCEs and shows how these environments can be used to architect and integrate modern distributed applications to support e-business and m-business. Numerous case studies and examples are included. The book contents reflect updated versions of selected chapters of the "eBusiness and Distributed Systems Handbook", A. Umar, NGE Solutions, May 2003.
Customer Reviews & Comments
To a large extent, this book has much of the same material as an earlier book by the author - "Object Oriented Client Server Internet Environments". Basically, the author has deprecated the use of "client server". Instead, the new book stresses the possibilities inherent in composing Web Services. The uses are in electronic commerce. But he also posits applying these to mobile commerce. That is, to enable novel applications that take advantage of the huge rise in ever-smarter cellphones. A minor quibble is that the acronym 3GDCE is so clumsy. I cannot think of an improvement, either. But it is a pity that the author, or others in the field, could not cobble a catchier phrase.
