Abstract

Until recently, application developers could often assume a target environment that was (to a useful extent) homogeneous, reliable, secure, and centrally managed. Increasingly, however, computing is concerned with collaboration, data sharing, and other new modes of interaction that involve distributed resources. The result is an increased focus on the interconnection of systems both within and across enterprises, whether in the form of intelligent networks, switching devices, caching services, appliance servers, storage systems, or storage area network management systems. In addition, companies are realizing that they can achieve significant cost savings by outsourcing nonessential elements of their IT environment to various forms of service providers. These evolutionary pressures generate new requirements for distributed application development and deployment. Today, applications and middleware are …
