Integration-Ready Architecture and Design: Software Engineering with XML, Java, .NET, Wireless, Speech, and Knowledge Technologi

Description

What would you do if your IT job was no longer performed in your country? Your survival does not lie in limiting global collaborative engineering. IT workers will survive and prosper because of their ability to innovate, to quickly learn and change directions, and to evolve from Information Technology into Distributed Knowledge Marketplace. You have no choice but to be pro-active, learn to stay current, even run ahead of the game. Integration-Ready Architecture and Design bridges the gap for a new generation of wired and wireless software technologies and teaches a set of skills that are demanded by fast moving software evolution. This up-to-date textbook integrates theory and practice, going from foundations and concepts to specific applications. Through deep insights into almost all areas of modern CIS and IT, Zhuk provides an entry into the new world of integrated knowledge and software engineering. Readers will learn the 'what's, why's, and how's' on: J2EE, J2ME, .NET, JSAPI, JMS, JMF, SALT, VoiceXML, WAP, 802.11, CDNA, GPRS, CycL, XML, and multiple XML-based technologies including RDF, DAML, SOAP, UDDI, and WDSL. Students, architects, designers, coders, and even management benefit from innovative ideas and detailed examples for building multi-dimensional worlds of enterprise applications and creating distributed knowledge marketplace.

'This is the new road map for a new generation of students and specialists dedicated to the field of IT and computer information systems' Professor V. Genin, Stanford University 'This book brings software engineering newbies as well as experts in this area up to date with the latest technologies, software scalability, and integration issues. It will definitely help us create a bridge between software engineering and knowledge-based technologies.' Professor V. O. Safonov, Head of the laboratory of Java Technology, St. Petersburg University, Russia, and author of Three U.S. Software Patents 'An impressive attempt to re-define software and knowledge engineering for the 'post-dotcom' era. Two thumbs up!' V. Kaptelinin, Ph. D., Department of Informatics, Umea University, Sweden 'The book is a brilliant synergy of theory and experience. Filled with fundamental concepts together with innovative and yet very practical approaches to modern software engineering, it answers the most important questions of today and allows us to look into the future.'
