Using Design Patterns & Frameworks to Develop Object-Oriented Communication Systems

Abstract

Developing extensible communication software that effectively utilizes concurrency over high-speed, low-speed, and mobile networks is a complex task. This tutorial describes how to apply object-oriented (00) design patterns and frameworks to alleviate the complexity of developing concurrent and distributed communication software. These patterns and framework components have been used successfully by the speaker on production communication software projects at Ericsson, Motorola, Siemens, Kodak, and McDonnell Douglas for telecommunications switch management applications, network management for large-scale global personal communication systems, electronic medical imaging systems, and real-time avionics.
