This groundbreaking resource offers you new insights for building
and evolving open systems using the best mix of standards for your
software development projects. Numerous books have been published
that describe individual computer standards, but only Open Systems
and Standards for Software Product Development presents a framework
for distinguishing between them. The book provides comprehensive
coverage of standards terminology, history, services, status,
standards organizations, and URLs for products and technical
support.
This unique reference describes 12 categories of standards that
include communications, data management, security, distributed
computing, and the World Wide Web. You gain practical knowledge of
significant standards shaping today's open systems and learn how to
choose the best combination for your systems. Emerging standards
are covered for such technologies as wireless networks, storage
area networks (SANs), identity management, grid computing, and the
Semantic Web. Moreover, this unique resource describes five major
trends that guarantee the future of open systems and will help you
keep pace with new developments. You also get an extensive list of
links to Web sites with valuable information on related topics.
There is no other book like it on the market today.
