Distributed Virtual Machines : Inside the Rotor CLI

Description

The Common Language Infrastructure (CLI) is a multiple language runtime system, first implemented as the .NET Common Language Runtime (CLR). In March, 2002 Microsoft released the Shared Source CLI implementation (aka Rotor)for general educational use. The CLI technology can be used to address a spectrum of software design and development barriers that cut across compilers, runtime systems, and operating systems. This book focuses on the parts of the technology that are directly related to Distributed Virtual Machine technology. It covers assembly architecture, assembly loading, downloading, the execution engine, security, CLI interobject communication (remoting), and more.

This book is available entirely online at http://aw-bc.com/nutt/cli for professor evaluation and classroom use, and for general readers interested in the Rotor CLI.

• Covers the latest trends in distributed programming using the CLI.
• Provides a detailed discussion of the aspects of the Rotor CLI that are most relevant to Distributed Virtual Machines.
• Contains several extended, hands-on lab exercises that provide an opportunity to study and modify the Rotor CLI implementation.
• Available entirely online.
