Middleware Enterprise Application Integration: The Architecture of E-Business Solutions

From the Publisher: Middleware is a layer of software that lets business applications inter-operate and eases the problem of constructing complex applications that can include market places, CRM and Internet access. The world of middleware has recently been galvanised by the arrival of the Internet and then by Java, making it part of the e-commerce revolution. Middleware and Enterprise Application Integration is a practical introduction to the different forms of middleware (RPC, message queues, hub and spoke, CORBA and Java) and how they can be combined to produce complex architectures that are suited to business needs. The book does not enter into technical details, it is intended for consultants, managers, architectures and designers of complex business software for e-commerce.
