{"product_id":"9780792385271","title":"Distributed Applications and Interoperable Systems II","description":"Mastering interoperability in a computing environment  consisting of different operating systems and hardware architectures  is a key requirement which faces system engineers building distributed  information systems. Distributed applications are a necessity in most  central application sectors of the contemporary computerized society,  for instance, in office automation, banking, manufacturing,  telecommunication and transportation. This book focuses on the  techniques available or under development, with the goal of easing the  burden of constructing reliable and maintainable interoperable  information systems.   The topics covered in this book include: Management of distributed systems; Frameworks and  construction tools; Open architectures and interoperability  techniques; Experience with platforms like CORBA and RMI;  Language interoperability (e.g. Java); Agents and  mobility; Quality of service and fault tolerance; Workflow  and object modelling issues; and Electronic commerce  .    The book contains the proceedings of the International Working  Conference on Distributed Applications and Interoperable Systems II  (DAIS'99), which was held June 28-July 1, 1999 in Helsinki,  Finland. It was sponsored by the International Federation of  Information Processing (IFIP).   The conference program presents the state of the art in research  concerning distributed and interoperable systems. This is a topical  research area where much activity is currently in progress.  Interesting new aspects and innovative contributions are still arising  regularly. The DAIS series of conferences is one of the main  international forums where these important findings are reported.","brand":"Lea Kutvonen, Hartmut Koenig, Martti Tienari","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45858072953150,"sku":"9780792385271","price":4681.75,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4357\/7662\/products\/9780792385271_cd39a52e-732d-434c-9ab5-690d6560407a.jpg?v=1707327051","url":"https:\/\/exclusivebooks.co.za\/products\/9780792385271","provider":"Exclusive Books Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
