Features: With the expansion of computer applications, many applications need to run on heterogeneous platforms in network environments. Distributed computing environments, based on object-oriented technology and distributed computing technology of Client/Server structure, provide effective means for resource sharing and interoperability of different software and hardware platforms in network environments. This textbook comprehensively and systematically introduces the basic concepts, models, representative technologies, architectural frameworks, and latest development trends of distributed computing. The content includes Client/Server structure, middleware technology, Open Distributed Processing model (ODP), Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA), intelligent agent technology (Agent), the next-generation software development model—software component architecture, the application of distributed computing technology in the telecommunications field, telecommunications information network architecture, and active network technology. This textbook is suitable for students and postgraduates majoring in information and electronic engineering, especially those in computer and communication fields, and can also be referenced by related software development technical personnel and management personnel.
