In this Episode we talked about the new POSA 4 book which has
recently been published. We talk to two of the authors, Kevlin
Henney and Frank Buschmann (the third author, Doug Schmidt was not
available - and he had also been on the podcast a couple of times
:-)). The book contains a pattern language for distributed systems.
It contains 114 patterns that had been published before by many
different other authors. The patterns have been rewritten to form a
consistent language. We basically talked through the different
sections of the book, which gives a really good overview over the
challenges and the solutions of building distributed systems. These
sections include From Mud to Structure, Distribution
Infrastructure, Event Demultiplexing and Dispatching, Interface
Partitioning, Component Patitioning, Application Contrl,
Concurrency, Synchronization, Object Interaction, Adaptazion and
Extension, Modal Behaviour, Resource Management and finally,
Database Access. The book references several other previous works
(as listed below). Interestingly, many of these referenced works
and authors have also been discussed previously on the podcast.
