Java in distributed systems - concurrency, distribution and persistence

From the Publisher: The large and complex software systems of today, such as Internet applications, all depend on distributed applications. Java in Distributed Systems provides a tutorial guide to distributed programming in the Java environment, showing how building blocks from threads to Jini can help developers to fulfil Sun's vision that "the Network is the Computer". It also goes on to focus on aspects that are still challenging researchers, such as concurrency, distribution and persistence. * Coverage includes threads and sockets, RMI, CORBA, Voyager, Mobile agents, JDBC, object-oriented databases, Java spaces and Jini * Includes advanced chapters on the cutting edge of Java language development
