How to use communications methods and protocols to create better applications for distributed systems Books that explain the abstract workings of communications protocols are a dime a dozen. But few of them describe what you, as an applications developer, really need to know: namely, how these protocols affect your applications for client/server and other distributed computing systems. This book is different. Its purpose is to help you zero in on the subsystems you need identify those best suited to your applications and get them working smoothly together. Written by a practitioner who as designed, developed, and done troubleshooting for dozens of systems, this resource is your master blueprint on how the various parts of distributed systems communicate with one another. Turn to it for an overview of all major issues and trends-from architectural components and models to security and systems management-as well as in-depth guidance on TCP/IP, ATM, EDI, CORBA, groupware and workflow, the Internet, Java, messaging, encryption, and other key topics. At each step you're assured of a service-oriented approach that shows you how to find answers to the questions that matter: "What does this subsystem do for us?"; "How does it differ from other possibilities?"; "How will it impact the behavior and architecture of our application?"'
