Book Reviews of Pattern-Oriented Software Architecture Volume 2: Patterns for Concurrent and Networked Objects

Book Review: Book Chapters Available For Free From ACE Site
Summary: 3 Stars

This is an excellent book, but the patterns (Connector, Acceptor, Acceptor-Connector, Reactor, Proactor, Half Sync-Half Async .....) are all available in MORE expansive (yes more expansive) form on the ACE site.

Just Google "ACE Framework" and you will see Doug Schmidt and his ACE related papers section which will conveniently list all the patterns in this book plus a ton more (yes more useful patterns NOT in this book). The related papers are ALL in PDF format and can be loaded into a PDF reader (see Altrix Illiad E-Book reader) or printed out to a bind. The sites PDF editions are extensively longer and more detailed than the book editions, so you are better off going to the site instead.

These is indeed an excellent reference, but considering that most of the patterns are now implemented in ACE (see ACE Programmers Guide) or even in Java (see Java 1.5 SE and up in the java.util.concurrent for concurrency).

The books C++ Network Programming Vol 1 and Vol 2 are much better and re-visit these patterns from which you can, again, get on the site for free and in a nice color illustrated edition (PDF).

Save your $70 and visit the ACE site.

Summary of Pattern-Oriented Software Architecture Volume 2: Patterns for Concurrent and Networked Objects

Designing application and middleware software to run in concurrent and networked environments is a significant challenge to software developers. The patterns catalogued in this second volume of Pattern-Oriented Software Architectures (POSA) form the basis of a pattern language that addresses issues associated with concurrency and networking.

The book presents 17 interrelated patterns ranging from idioms through architectural designs. They cover core elements of building concurrent and network systems: service access and configuration, event handling, synchronization,

and concurrency. All patterns present extensive examples and known uses in multiple programming languages, including C++, C, and Java.

The book can be used to tackle specific software development problems or read from cover to cover to provide a fundamental understanding of the best practices for constructing concurrent and networked applications and middleware.

About the Authors

This book has been written by the award winning team responsible for the first POSA volume "A System of Patterns", joined in this volume by Douglas C. Schmidt from University of California, Irvine (UCI), USA.
