Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
This work shows how to merge object technology and client/server systems that offer real business advantages. It involves the development and maintenance of information systems required for survival and success in today's business climate. Companies are shown how they can leverage their object and client/server expertise to build better business systems and details how object technology and enterprise computing relate to each other now and in the future.
Includes bibliographical references (pages 389-397) and index.
Client/Server Computing -- Object Technology -- Integrating Object Technology with Enterprise Systems -- Object-Oriented Clients -- Object-Oriented Servers -- Object-Oriented Glue -- Object Persistence and Sharing -- Objects across the Internet -- End-to-End OO Enterprise Development -- Performance -- The Scaleable OO Enterprise System -- Security -- Business Systems -- Some conclusions and predictions.
