ECOOP / Tutorial 03

Distributed .NET

Abstract

Almost all software systems today are distributed, either leveraging middleware technologies or Internet protocols for communication.As a consequence, platforms such as .NET spend a significant bunch of functionality for the development of distributed and Web-based systems. However, there is not such a thing like a common distributed component-based software architecture. Different distributed applications must balance different forces with respect to non-functional requirements such as scalability, communication paradigms, security, bandwidth, to name just a few. This is the reason why .NET offers a whole range of different approaches for communication and distribution. It is the goal of the tutorial to show what basic kinds of communication paradigms exist and how they are supported in the .NET Framework. Examples will be illustrated using the programming language C#. Topics covered include Web-services, Sockets, .NET Remoting, COM+, ADO.NET.
