Review
“Let me Start by saying that I highly recommend this book. If you are a reader of the expanding literature on pattern-oriented software design, rush out and buy this book! This book has the potential to be a seminal volume.” —
Glenn E. Mitchell II, Ph.D.: Microsoft Office Pro; msofficepro.com; 5/30/01“This book is one of the more important contributions to the literature on ‘patterns’ and deserves to become a standard text on its specified area of interest.” —
Overload, September 2000From the Back Cover
Designing software to run in a distributed or multi-threaded environment is a significant challenge facing developers. The patterns catalogued in this second volume of Pattern-oriented Software Architecture (POSA) form the basis of a pattern language which address issues associated with distribution, concurrency and networking.
The book presents 19 closely related patterns. They represent a range of patterns from idioms (in both Java and C++) through to architectural designs. The patterns cover the essential elements of building concurrent and distributed systems: service access, event handling, concurrency control, initialisation, transaction, and safety.
The book can be used to tackle specific problems or read from cover to cover to provide a fundamental understanding of how distributed and concurrent systems can be constructed.
Authors: This book has been written by the award winning team responsible for the first POSA volume “A System of Patterns” joined in this volume by Doug Schmidt from Washington University, St Louis, USA.
