Pattern Oriented Software Architecture Vol.3

0.0

This volume uses design patterns to present techniques for implementing effective resource management in a system. Similar to previous POSA volumes, thisvolume provides directions to the readers on how to implement the presented patterns. Additionally, the volume presents a thorough introduction into resource management and a case study where the patterns are applied to the domain of mobile radio networks. The presented patterns are independent of any implementation technique, such as .NET, Java or C++, even though the examples are given in Java and C++. The patterns are grouped by different areas of resource management and hence address the complete lifecycle of resources: resource acquisition, coordination and release.
