Distributed Objects

This paper guides one, on using various reporting tools that are available in the market to work with the data one collects with Tivoli Data Warehouse. Tivoli Data Warehouse (TDW) provides data warehousing capability for IBM Tivoli products to store its data, provide historical information, and generate reports. These features are based on IBM DB2 Universal Database business intelligence capability. BusinessObjects is an integrated query, reporting and analysis solution that allows one to access data in their corporate databases directly from the desktop. It helps one present and analyze this information in a BusinessObjects document. tech news

This paper summarizes trends in communication paradigms for networked systems, mention well-established as well as innovative software infrastructures for distributed systems (such as COM+, CORBA, .NET and Jini), and give an overview of application domains such as grid computing, peer-to-peer computing, and mobile agents. It then discusses issues in spontaneous networking, and explains the vision of Ubiquitous Computing and its intriguing prospects. tech news

From a technological perspective, this paper proposes that the combination of smart objects and the patient?s mobile phone has a lot of potential in the healthcare domain because the smart objects will benefit from the ubiquitous communication infrastructure, the storage functionality and the familiar user interface the mobile phone provides. tech news

Over the period of time, the architecture of software systems has evolved, typically following the evolution of hardware systems from mainframes in the 70s, client/server systems in the 80s and early 90s, thin-clients in the late 90s and more recent peer-to-peer distributed systems at the start of this decade. This whitepaper compares and evaluate various software infrastructure topologies with respect to characteristics like scalability, performance, reliability, and manageability, among others, with a view towards determining the best overall topology for general-purpose distributed computing and the solution of a wide range of business problems. tech news

This article uses the Borland Data Provider (BDP) for .NET that ships with Borland C#Builder for data access from IBM DB2 Universal Database (UDB). It introduces the basics of .NET remoting. It also shows how to remote data from one tier to another; and how to convert the raw data into meaningful information, either by the clients updating the presented data or by running the data through some business rules on various tiers of the distributed application, using ADO.NET Dataset for data manipulation on the client. tech news
