Demystifying Embedded Systems Middleware (Hardcover)

This practical technical guide to embedded middleware implementation offers a coherent framework that guides readers through all the key concepts necessary to gain an understanding of this broad topic. Big picture theoretical discussion is integrated with down-to-earth advice on successful real-world use via step-by-step examples of each type of middleware implementation. Technically detailed case studies bring it all together, by providing insight into typical engineering situations readers are likely to encounter. Expert author Tammy Noergaard keeps explanations as simple and readable as possible, eschewing jargon and carefully defining acronyms.

The start of each chapter includes a "setting the stage" section, so readers can take a step back and understand the context and applications of the information being provided. Core middleware, such as networking protocols, file systems, virtual machines, and databases; more complex middleware that builds upon generic pieces, such as MOM, ORB, and RPC; and integrated middleware software packages, such as embedded JVMs, .NET, and CORBA packages are all demystified.

* The only complete guide to middleware, one of the most important AND most widely misunderstood aspects of embedded systems - hundreds of devices, from digital TVs to smart phones, can't function without it!

* Offers thorough middleware coverage, including basic theory and core middleware, as well as complex implementations and integrated packages

* Detailed case studies, real-world examples, hundreds of diagrams, and a free CD-ROM provide context and aid understanding of embedded middleware

這本實用的嵌入式中間件實作技術指南提供了一個有條理的框架，引導讀者理解這個廣泛主題所需的所有關鍵概念。整體理論討論與實際成功應用的實用建議相結合，通過逐步示例展示每種中間件實作的方式。技術詳細的案例研究將所有內容結合在一起，提供讀者可能遇到的典型工程情境的洞察。專家作者Tammy Noergaard以盡可能簡單易讀的方式解釋，避免使用行話並仔細定義縮寫詞彙。

每個章節的開始都包含一個「背景設定」部分，讓讀者能夠退後一步，理解所提供資訊的背景和應用。核心中間件，如網路協議、檔案系統、虛擬機器和資料庫；建立在通用元件之上的更複雜中間件，如MOM、ORB和RPC；以及集成中間件軟體套件，如嵌入式JVM、.NET和CORBA套件，都被解釋清楚。

* 唯一完整的中間件指南，是嵌入式系統中最重要且最常被誤解的方面之一 - 數百種設備，從數位電視到智慧手機，都無法正常運作而不使用中間件！
* 提供全面的中間件涵蓋範圍，包括基本理論和核心中間件，以及複雜的實作和集成套件
* 詳細的案例研究、實際範例、數百個圖表和免費的CD-ROM提供背景和幫助理解嵌入式中間件。
