Designing application and middleware software to run in concurrent and networked environments is a significant challenge facing software developers. This document presents an overview of the contents in the book Pattern-Oriented Software Architecture: Patterns for Concurrent and Networked Objects (POSA2) that address this challenge. The patterns in POSA2 form the basis of a pattern language that addresses issues associated with concurrency and networking. The book presents 17 interrelated patterns: Wrapper Facade,Acceptor-Connector, Extension Interface,Interceptor, Component Configurator,Reactor, Proactor, Asynchronous Completion Token, Scoped Locking, Strategized Locking,Thread-Safe Interface, Double-Checked Locking Optimization, Active Object, Monitor Object, Leader/Followers,Half-Sync/Half-Async, and Thread-Specific Storage. This material represents a range of patterns from idioms to architecture designs. The patterns cover core elements of building concurrent and networked systems: service access and configuration,event handling, synchronization, and_concurrency_. All patterns present extensive examples and the pattern known uses are presented in various 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.
- C++ Network Programming books
- PowerPoint tutorial notesbased on material in the two volumes of the Pattern-Oriented Software Architecture series, which have been published by Wiley and Sons in 1996 and 2000. This tutorial covers all 17 patterns/idioms in POSA2.
- Michael Stal's PowerPoint presentations on patterns and distributed object computing middleware, which describe some of the POSA1 and POSA2 patterns.
- Errata from the current printing of POSA2. This document indicates which problems will be fixed in the next printing of the book.
- A nice review of POSA2 that appeared in Java Report.
- Additional information on patterns.
