Editorial Reviews

From the reviews of the first edition:

"The main attractive feature of this book resides from … providing a rather complete, compelling and self-explanatory presentation of the Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) standard for distributed computing. … the book, is undoubtedly, remarkably useful to professional software developers, particularly for people involved in building networked systems. … the style is outstanding … . The book is self-contained … . The authors give a long series of illustrative examples to facilitate the understanding of different concepts … ." (Tudor Balanescu, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1087, 2006)
