Distributed Object Computing teaches readers the fundamentals of CORBA, the leading architecture for design of software used in parallel and distributed computing applications. Since CORBA is based on open standards, it is the only effective way to learn object-oriented programming for distributed systems. This language independent book allows material to be taught using Java, C++ or other Object Oriented Programming Languages.

Comprehensive guide to the principles, algorithms, and techniques underlying resource management for clouds, big data, and sensor-based systems. Resource Management on Distributed Systems provides helpful guidance on resource management questions by describing algorithms and techniques for managing resources on parallel and distributed systems, including grids, clouds, and parallel processing-based platforms for big data analytics. The book introduces four general principles of resource management with a discussion of their impact on system performance, energy usage, and cost, and includes a set of exercises at the end of a chapter. To provide extensive coverage of the subject, the text includes chapters on sensors, autoscaling on clouds, complex event processing for streaming data, and data filtering techniques for big data systems. The book also covers results of applying the discussed techniques on simulated as well as real systems (including clouds and big data processing platforms), and techniques for handling errors associated with user predicted task execution times. Written by a highly qualified academic with significant research experience in the field, Resource Management on Distributed Systems includes information on sample topics such as: Attributes of parallel/distributed applications that have an intimate relationship with system behavior and performance, plus their related performance metrics. Handling a lack of a prior knowledge of local operating systems on individual nodes in a large system. Detection and management of complex events (that correspond to the occurrence of multiple raw events) on a platform for streaming analytics. Techniques for reducing data latency for multiple operator-based queries in an environment processing large textual documents. With comprehensive coverage of core topics in the field, Resource Management on Distributed Systems is a comprehensive guide to resource management in a single publication and is an essential read for professionals, researchers and students working with distributed systems.

"This book breaks the mold...by taking the reader through the entire spectrum of the distributed object approach, from requirements analysis through systems development, with a thorough treatment of relevant standards." -Dr. Richard M. Soley, Technical Director, Object Management Group Inside CORBA is a comprehensive and authoritative guide to distributed object architecture, software development, and CORBA (Common Object Request Broker Architecture) standards. CORBA is a consensus standard from industry that has transformed the way information systems are developed, both for creating distributed object-oriented systems and for migrating legacy systems to modern architecture. This must-read for all managers, architects, and developers of distributed systems begins by addressing the key organizational challenges to the adoption of CORBA and the essential management guidance necessary to ensure its success. Following this introduction, the authors present a user guide to the CORBA standards, complete with examples of their application. The user guide also features in-depth coverage of the Interface Definition Language (IDL), including the latest presentation of the new CORBA IDL Language Mapping for Java, and comprehensive information on the CORBA 2 standard and the CORBAservices. In addition, this book provides invaluable technical assistance on the application of CORBA by sharing essential lessons learned from experienced CORBA managers and architects and through the presentation of a case study. 0201895404B04062001

Distributed Object Architectures with CORBA is a guide to designing software comprised of distributed components. While it is based on OMG's Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) standard, the principles also apply to architecture built with other technology (such as Microsoft's DCOM). As ORB products evolve to incorporate new additions to CORBA, the knowledge and experience required to build stable and scalable systems is not widespread. With this volume the reader can develop the skills and knowledge that are necessary for building such systems. The book assumes a familiarity with object-oriented concepts and the basics of CORBA. Software developers who are new to building systems with CORBA-based technologies will find this a useful guide to effective development.
