*Features* Cover Type: Paperback with 260 pages Published by: Nge Solutions May 2003 Written in: English ISBN 10 Number: 0972741488 ISBN 13 Number: 978-0972741484 Book Dimensions: 10.8 x 8 x 0.5 inches Weighs: 1.1 pounds *Book Description* This section explains what is middleware in a clear and systematic manner and highlights its role in interconnecting remotely located users, applications, and databases in the modern digital corporations. This is one section of an extensive handbook that systematically discusses how to translate e-business strategies to working solutions by using the latest distributed computing technologies. Readers are carefully guided through the "jungle" of existing as well as emerging middleware services by using numerous real life examples and case studies that highlight practical applications. Unnecessary formalisms and jargon are actively avoided.Chapters of this section discuss the following topics: a) Middleware principles, basic middleware services (RPC, MOM, RDA, Publish/Subscribe) and distributed architectures supported by the basic services; b) Web technologies (e.g., browsers, servers, Web gateways, HTTP, HTML, proxies, cookies), XML "family" (e.g., DTD, Schema, XSL), Semantic Web, and Web Services; c) Distributed object computing concepts, CORBA/DCOM, Web Services, SOAP, WSDL, UDDI, J2EE, .NET; d) Enterprise data and transaction management concepts, technologies, and approaches in Web/XML environments (distributed databases, distributed query processing, XML processing, TP Heavy, TP Lite); and e) Middleware state of the practice (case studies), market (commercial products), and art (research and development trends). *Publisher Description* This is one section of a comprehensive handbook which consists of several modules that discuss the management as well as technical issues based on a common framework. Each module, available separately, is written as a self-contained booklet that can be used for independent study of the subject matter or combined with others for a broader view: MODULE (OVERVIEW): THE BIG PICTURE AND CASE STUDIES * Preface: Suggested Usage in Courses, Detailed Table of Contents, Glossary of Terms * Chapter 1: e-Business and Distributed Systems – From Strategies to Working Solutions * Chapter 2: Case Studies and Examples MODULE (APPLICATIONS): E-BUSINESS STRATEGIES AND APPLICATIONS * Chapter 1: e-Business-- From Strategies to Applications * Chapter 2: e-Business Applications (CRMs, ERPs, eMarkets, SCM, ASPs, Portals) * Chapter 3: From Strategies to Solutions – A Planning Methodology * Chapter 4: IT Infrastructure – Overview of Enabling Technologies * Chapter 5: Applications State of the Practice, Market, and Art MODULE (ARCHITECTURES): SOLUTION ARCHITECTURES THROUGH COMPONENTS * Chapter 1: Solution Architecture Overview * Chapter 2: Enterprise Application Architectures - A Component-based Approach * Chapter 3: Enterprise Data Architectures in Web-XML Environments * Chapter 4: Architecture Implementation: Concepts and Examples * Chapter 5: Architectures State of the Practice, Market, and Art MODULE (INTEGRATION): ENTERPRISE APPLICATION INTEGRATION AND MIGRATION * Chapter 1: Integration with Existing (Including Legacy) Applications -- An Overview * Chapter 2: Enterprise and Inter-Enterprise Application Integration (EAI/eAI) * Chapter 3: Data Warehouses and Data Mining for Integration * Chapter 4: Migration Strategies and Technologies * Chapter 5: Integration State of the Practice, Market, and Art MODULE (NETWORKS): NETWORK SERVICES AND ARCHITECTURES IN THE INTERNET AGE * Chapter 1: Principles of Communication Networks * Chapter 2: Network Architectures and Interconnectivity * Chapter 3: Wireless and Broadband Networks -- Next Generation Networks: * Chapter 4: IP-based Networks and the Next Generation Internet * Chapter 5: Networks State of the Practice, Market, and Art MODULE (MIDDLEWARE) : APPLICATION INTERCONNECTIVITY THROUGH MIDDLEWARE * Chapter 1: Middleware Principles and Basic Middleware Services * Chapter 2: Web, XML, Semantic Web, and Web Services * Chapter 3: Distributed Objects, CORBA, Web Services, J2EE, .NET, SOAP, and EJB * Chapter 4: Enterprise Data and Transaction Management * Chapter 5: Middleware State of the Practice, Market, and Art MODULE (PLATFORMS): APPLICTION SERVERS FOR MOBILE AND EC/EB APPLICATIONS * Chapter 1: Mobile Application Servers * Chapter 2: e-Commerce Platforms for C2B Trade -- The Commerce Servers * Chapter 3: B2B Platforms and Standards -- The B2B Servers * Chapter 4: Platforms for Multimedia and Collaboration * Chapter 5: Application Servers State of the Practice, Market, and Art MODULE (MANAGEMENT): MANAGEMENT AND SECURITY * Chapter 1: e-Business Management in Practice * Chapter 2: Management Platforms for Network and Systems Management * Chapter 3: Security Management-- Approaches and Technologies * Chapter 4: Security Solutions -- Using Technologies to Secure Systems * Chapter 5: Management State of the Practice, Market, and Art MODULE (TUTORIALS): TUTORIALS AND DETAILED DISCUSSIONS ON SPECIAL TOPICS * Chapter 1: Network Technologies -- A Tutorial * Chapter 2: Object-Orientation, Java, and UML -- A Tutorial * Chapter 3: Database Technologies and SQL -- A Tutorial * Chapter 4: Web Engineering and XML Processing -- A Closer Look * Chapter 5: CORBA -- A Closer Look *Reader Reviews* Dr. Umar tested this module, and companion modules, in a class of his which I took in graduate school. While I was a professional student familiar with most of the topics at some level, I noticed he did an excellent job of providing a structured overview of the middleware technology landscape in the Middleware module. In particular, I liked the fact that he went beyond descriptions of systems and services to also look at practical issues like tradeoffs among different middleware technologies relative to specific types of applications. Also, the writing and visual style is at a pleasant enough level that you don't get lost in the complexities associated with all technologies. If you're new to the middleware area, and desire an initial broad brush overview, I highly recommend this module, especially given its reasonable price. Once you're done with it, you can confidently venture to other more detailed (and expensive) texts to investigate a specific topic, without losing the topic's context in the general scheme of things.
