Stefan Jablonski - Böcker

New concepts and technologies are being introduced continuously for application development in the World-Wide Web. Selecting the right implementation strategies and tools when building a Web application has become a tedious task, requiring in-depth knowledge and significant experience from both software developers and software managers.The mission of this book is to guide the reader through the opaque jungle of Web technologies. Based on their long industrial and academic experience, Stefan Jablonski and his coauthors provide a framework architecture for Web applications which helps choose the best strategy for a given project. The authors classify common technologies and standards like .NET, CORBA, J2EE, DCOM, WSDL and many more with respect to platform, architectural layer, and application package, and guide the reader through a three-phase development process consisting of preparation, design, and technology selection steps. The whole approach is exemplified using a real-world case: the architectural design of an order-entry management system.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed joint post-proceedings of nine workshops held as part of the 10th International Conference on Extending Database Technology, EDBT 2006, held in Munich, Germany in March 2006. The 70 revised full papers presented were selected from numerous submissions during two rounds of reviewing and revision.

Das Buch behandelt Datenverwaltungskonzepte fur verteilte Systeme. Neben bereits bekannten Konzepten wird ein neuer Losungsansatz vorgestellt und bewertet. Er zielt darauf ab, Anwendungswissen in die Datenverwaltung einfliessen zu lassen, um eine effiziente Datenverwaltung in verteilten Systemen aufzubauen. Zunachst werden die Grundlagen und Voraussetzungen der verteilten Datenverwaltung diskutiert (Rechnerhardware, Betriebssysteme, Kommunikationssysteme). Anschliessend wird ein neuartiges Verwaltungskonzept vorgeschlagen, wobei streng zwischen Datenhaltung und Datenverteilung unterschieden wird. Diese Neukonzeption zeichnet sich insbesondere aus durch die Moglichkeit der Integration bestehender Datenverwaltungssysteme, das breite Anwendungsspektrum und die Einbeziehung von Anwendungswissen.

Software engineering is understood as a broad term linking science, traditional en- neering, art and management and is additionally conditioned by social and external factors (conditioned to the point that brilliant engineering solutions based on strong science, showing artistic creativity and skillfully managed can still fail for reasons beyond the control of the development team). Modern software engineering needs a paradigm shift commensurate with a change of the computing paradigm from: 1. Algorithms to interactions (and from procedural to object-oriented programming) 2. Systems development to systems integration 3.Products to services Traditional software engineering struggles to address this paradigm shift to inter- tions, integration, and services. It offers only incomplete and disconnected methods for building information systems with fragmentary ability to dynamically accom- date change and to grow gracefully. The principal objective of contemporary software engineering shouldtherefore be to try to redefine the entire discipline and offer a complete set of methods, tools and techniques to address challenges ahead that will shape the information systems of the future.
