Considerações para o desenvolvimento de aplicações distribuídas em ambientes heterogêneos.

Abstract

Distributed Applications constitute a very important trend for computer science in the 1990's. This work presents practical advice considerations for heterogeneous distributed networked applications developers. The environment, requirements and main programming models used for development of distributed applications are discussed. Other specific considerations for design, such as transport protocols, fault tolerance, security and performance are also presented. Based on these specific considerations two implementations of a distributed printing service are described. Comparative analysis of such implementations results in important help for Distributed Applications developers.
