Annotation "JavaSpaces technology is a powerful Jini service from Sun Microsystems, Inc. that facilitates building distributed applications. The JavaSpaces model provides persistent object exchange "areas" in which remote Java processes can coordinate their actions and exchange data. JavaSpaces technology supplies a necessary, cross-platform framework for distributed computing with Jini technology." "This book introduces the JavaSpaces technology architecture and provides a comprehensive description of the model. Using an example-driven approach, this book shows you how to use JavaSpaces technology to develop distributed computing applications." "JavaSpaces Principles, Patterns, and Practice also includes two full-scale applications - one collaborative and the other parallel - that demonstrate how to put the JavaSpaces model to work."--BOOK JACKET.

Create various design patterns to master the art of solving problems using Java Key Features This book demonstrates the shift from OOP to functional programming and covers reactive and functional patterns in a clear and step-by-step manner All the design patterns come with a practical use case as part of the explanation, which will improve your productivity Tackle all kinds of performance-related issues and streamline your development Book Description Having a knowledge of design patterns enables you, as a developer, to improve your code base, promote code reuse, and make the architecture more robust. As languages evolve, new features take time to fully understand before they are adopted en masse. The mission of this book is to ease the adoption of the latest trends and provide good practices for programmers. We focus on showing you the practical aspects of smarter coding in Java. We'll start off by going over object-oriented (OOP) and functional programming (FP) paradigms, moving on to describe the most frequently used design patterns in their classical format and explain how Java’s functional programming features are changing them. You will learn to enhance implementations by mixing OOP and FP, and finally get to know about the reactive programming model, where FP and OOP are used in conjunction with a view to writing better code. Gradually, the book will show you the latest trends in architecture, moving from MVC to microservices and serverless architecture. We will finish off by highlighting the new Java features and best practices. By the end of the book, you will be able to efficiently address common problems faced while developing applications and be comfortable working on scalable and maintainable projects of any size. What you will learn Understand the OOP and FP paradigms Explore the traditional Java design patterns Get to know the new functional features of Java See how design patterns are changed and affected by the new features Discover what reactive programming is and why is it the natural augmentation of FP Work with reactive design patterns and find the best ways to solve common problems using them See the latest trends in architecture and the shift from MVC to serverless applications Use best practices when working with the new features Who this book is for This book is for those who are familiar with Java development and want to be in the driver’s seat when it comes to modern development techniques. Basic OOP Java programming experience and elementary familiarity with Java is expected.

This book presents the latest techniques, algorithms, research accomplishments and trend in computer science and engineering. It collects together 222 peer reviewed papers presented at the 11th Joint International Computer Conference. The theme of this year is “IT: Intellectual Capital for the Betterment of Human Life”. The articles in this book cover a wide range of active and interesting areas such as Digital Entertainment, Grid Computing, Embedded System, Web Service and Knowledge Engineering. This book serves as a good reference not only for researchers but also for graduate students in corresponding fields.The proceedings have been selected for coverage in:•Index to Scientific & Technical Proceedings (ISTP CDROM version / ISI Proceedings)•CC Proceedings — Engineering & Physical Sciences

This book shows how to develop software based on parts that interact primarily through an event mechanism. The book demonstrates the use of events in all sorts of situations to solve recurring development problems without incurring coupling. A novel form of software diagram is introduced, called Signal Wiring Diagram. These diagrams are similar to the circuit diagrams used by hardware designers. A series of case studies concludes the book, bringing all the next concepts introduced together. Source code is provided in both C# and VB.NET

This book contains the proceedings of the five high-quality workshops organized at the Second European Conference on Service-Oriented and Cloud Computing, ESOCC 2013, held in Malaga, Spain, in September 2013. The workshops are: Cloud for IoT (CLIoT 2013), CLOUd Storage Optimization (CLOUSO 2013), 12th International Workshop on Foundations of Coordination Languages and Self-Adaptive Systems (FOCLASA 2013), First Workshop on Mobile Cloud and Social Perspectives (MoCSoP 2013), and the 3rd International Workshop on Adaptive Services for the Future Internet (WAS4FI 2013). The 29 papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 51 submissions. They focus on specific topics in service-oriented and cloud computing domains: cloud environments, smart connectivity, context-aware computation, cloud for IoT, storage clouds, coordination languages, formal approaches to modeling and reasoning, self-systems, services for mobile devices, wireless sensor networks.

Distributed applications are difficult to write as programmers need to adhere to specific distributed systems programming conventions and frameworks, which makes distributed systems development complex and error prone and ties the resultant application to the distributed system because the application's code is tangled with the crosscutting concern distribution. This book introduces the concept of a domain-specific aspect language called a Distribution Definition Language that generalises the distribution and distribution recovery concerns by describing the classes and methods of an existing application to be made remote, the distributed system to use to make them remote and the recovery mechanism to use in the event of an error. A software tool in the form of the RemoteJ compiler/generator that uses information contained in the Distribution Definition Language to generate the recovery and distributed system specific code and apply it to the application using bytecode manipulation and generation techniques is introduced. By allowing distribution and autonomic features, such as recovery, to be modularised and applied to existing applications this approach greatly simplifies distributed systems and autonomics development. This book is of particular interest to researchers and students of distributed systems, autonomics, domain-specific aspect languages and aspect-orientation.

This book outlines a methodology for the use of parallel processing in real time systems. It provides an introduction to parallel processing in general, and to embedded systems in particular. Among the embedded systems are processors in such applications as automobiles, various machinery, IPGAs (field programmable gate arrays), multimedia embedded systems such as those used in the computer game industry, and more. * Presents design and simulation tools as well as case studies. * First presentation of this material in book form.
