Publisher's Synopsis
Object Technology An invaluable collection of domain–specific frameworks Domain–Specific Application Frameworks Frameworks provide generic software architectures that can be reused, indefinitely, to generate new applications. But they don′t readily translate from one business or industry domain to another. A telecommunications framework looks very different from a currency trading framework, for instance. Developers need instruction on how to build frameworks specific to the domains for which they program. Now, this book/CD–ROM package gives developers models–and much more. Each chapter is built around a case study reporting a major framework implementation or customization project. The 30 examples contained in the book cover an array of application domains, including:
∗ Flexible manufacturing architectures
∗ Computer–integrated manufacturing
∗ New generation control systems
∗ Concurrent engineering
∗ Reliable distributed computing
∗ High–performance Web servers
∗ Multimedia telecommunications
∗ Networking and telecommunications
∗ Industrial visualization
∗ And many others
The enclosed CD–ROM gives you:
∗ Example frameworks
∗ Documentation and manuals
∗ Framework code and implementation tips
∗ Sample framework architectures and models
∗ Design patterns and presentations
∗ Animated demonstrations
