Pattern-Oriented Software Architecture, Volume 3 Patterns for Resource Management (Hardcover)
內容描述
Description:
Efficient management of resources is critical in the execution of any kind of
software. From embedded software in a mobile device to software in a large
enterprise server, it is important that resources, such as memory, threading,
files, or network connections, are managed efficiently to allow the systems to
function properly and effectively.
As the need for resource management is often discovered late in the software
development lifecycle, and changing the system design at this late stage is
difficult, it is important that such tasks are performed early in the lifecycle.
Since systems belonging to different domains have different system constraints
and requirements, a technique that works well in a particular system or
configuration might not be so effective in another.
POSA 3 uses patterns to present techniques for implementing effective
resource management in a system. The patterns are covered in detail, making use
of several examples, and, as in previous POSA volumes, directions are given on
how to implement the presented patterns. Additionally, the volume presents a
thorough introduction into resource management, and two case studies where the
patterns are applied to the domains of ad hoc networking and mobile radio
networks. The patterns are grouped by different areas of resource management and
hence address the complete lifecycle of resources: resource acquisition,
coordination and release.
