Object Technology An invaluable collection of domain-specific frameworks Domain-Specific Application Frameworks Frameworks provide generic software architectures that can be reused, indefinitely, to generate new applications. But they don't readily translate from one business or industry domain to another. A telecommunications framework looks very different from a currency trading framework, for instance. Developers need instruction on how to build frameworks specific to the domains for which they program. Now, this book/CD-ROM package gives developers models-and much more. Each chapter is built around a case study reporting a major framework implementation or customization project. The 30 examples contained in the book cover an array of application domains, * Flexible manufacturing architectures* Computer-integrated manufacturing* New generation control systems* Concurrent engineering* Reliable distributed computing* High-performance Web servers* Multimedia telecommunications* Networking and telecommunications* Industrial visualization* And many othersThe enclosed CD-ROM gives * Example frameworks* Documentation and manuals* Framework code and implementation tips* Sample framework architectures and models* Design patterns and presentations* Animated demonstrations

Object Technology The first experience-based guide to building object-oriented frameworks Building Application Frameworks By providing reusable skeletons on which to build new applications, frameworks can save you countless hours and thousands (even millions) of dollars in development costs. Written and edited by some of the top names in the object-oriented programming world, this is the first complete study of building frameworks. Using examples drawn from successful implementations worldwide, it walks you through all the steps of a framework development project. Providing guidance on all key technical and business issues surrounding framework construction, it * Techniques for developing, integrating, and adapting frameworks* Leveraging existing design and code* Selecting and utilizing frameworks* Tracking, controlling, and documenting framework development* Maintaining, measuring, and controlling framework quality* Training developers in the effective use of frameworks* Evaluating frameworks and framework investments

Object Technology A gold mine of enterprise application frameworks Implementing Application Frameworks While frameworks can save your company millions in development costs over time, the initial investment can be quite high. This book/CD-ROM package helps you to reduce the cost of framework development by providing 40 case studies documenting the experiences of framework builders and users at major corporations and research labs, worldwide. Throughout, the authors extract important lessons and highlight technical and organizational implementation practices that have been proven to yield the biggest payoff. Focusing primarily on business systems and agent-based application frameworks, it covers frameworks * Data processing* Agent-based applications* Artificial intelligence applications* Object-oriented business processes* System application frameworks* Programming languages and tools* And much moreThe enclosed CD-ROM gives * Example frameworks* Documentation and manuals* Framework code and implementation tips* Sample framework architectures and models* Design patterns and presentations* Animated demonstrations
