Editorial Reviews

Review

"This is the new road map for a new generation of students and specialists dedicated to the field of IT and computer information systems." V. Genin, Ph.D., Professor of Engineering, Stanford University, University of Phoenix

"This book brings software engineering newbies as well as experts in this area up to date with the latest technologies, software scalability, and integration issues. It will definitely help us create a bridge between software engineering and knowledge-based technologies." Professor V. O. Safonov, Ph.D., head of the Laboratory of Java Technology, St. Petersburg University, Russia

"An impressive attempt to re-define software and knowledge engineering for the "post-dotcom" era!" V. Kaptelinin, Ph.D, Department of Informatics, Umeá University, Sweden

"The book is a brilliant synergy of theory and experience. Filled with fundamental concepts together with innovative and yet very practical approaches to modern software engineering, it answers the most important questions of today and allows us to look into the future." A. Nozik, General Director, Specialized Engineering, Integration, and Automation Company, SZMA

Book Description

For IT and CIS students and educators, developers, managers, and experts. Written by a software architect and experienced trainer, the book strives for an integration of theory and practice. Bridging the gap for a new generation of wired and wireless software technologies, the book teaches a set of skills that are becoming extremely valuable today, and which will certainly be in high demand tomorrow. Providing deep insights into almost all areas of modern CIS and IT, this book gives readers entry into a new world of integrated knowledge and software engineering. The author discusses service-oriented architecture, ontology and natural user interface, collaborative engineering and the distributed knowledge of marketplace, offers new approaches to software architecture and development process. The text answers the "what's, why's and how's" of: J2EE, J2ME, JavaCard, .NET, JSAPI, JMS, JXTA, Jini, JMF, SALT, VoiceXML, WAP, 802.11, CDMA, GPRS, CycL, XML, and multiple XML-based technologies including RDF, DAML, SOAP, WSDL, UDDI, etc. The book turns these abbreviations into understandable concepts and examples

5.0 out of 5 stars Very exciting new approach to integration, April 11, 2005

By 

siliconexec (San Jose, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Integration-Ready Architecture and Design: Software Engineering with XML, Java, .NET, Wireless, Speech, and Knowledge Technologies (Paperback)

This book was very solid technically, and a fascinating read. On the development side, it is filled with ideas and examples, some of which showed me completely different approaches to common problems. Conceptually, the book is even richer, not only explaining complex technologies in simple ways, but showing how some seemingly unrelated technological developments from the past few years can fit and work together. Overall, I think the book's most worthwhile aspect is the way it married its overall vision, which anticipates the future of integration and knowledge-driven computing, with very specific design and code examples that I could incorporate into my practice right away. A top book for people who want to stay ahead of the pack in the latest practical developments that will shape information architecture for the future.

5.0 out of 5 stars SOA Explained and Usable, March 13, 2009

This review is from: Integration-Ready Architecture and Design: Software Engineering with XML, Java, .NET, Wireless, Speech, and Knowledge Technologies (Paperback)

Mr. Zhuk clearly presents the core concepts of SOA and systems architecture. This manual should be required reading of anyone who professes to be a Systems Architect.
