Pattern-Oriented Software Architecture, Volume 2, Patterns for Concurrent and Networked Objects

Designing application and middleware software to run in concurrentand networked environments is a significant challenge to softwaredevelopers. The patterns catalogued in this second volume ofPattern-Oriented Software Architectures (POSA) form the basis of apattern language that addresses issues associated with concurrencyand networking.
The book presents 17 interrelated patterns ranging from idiomsthrough architectural designs. They cover core elements of buildingconcurrent and network systems: service access and configuration,event handling, synchronization,
and concurrency. All patterns present extensive examples and knownuses in multiple programming languages, including C++, C, andJava.
The book can be used to tackle specific software developmentproblems or read from cover to cover to provide a fundamentalunderstanding of the best practices for constructing concurrent andnetworked applications and middleware.
