Pattern–oriented Software Architecture – Patterns for Resource Management V 3 PATTERNS FOR RESOURCE MANAGEMENT

The first volume of the POSA pattern series introduced a broad-spectrum of general-purpose patterns in software design and architecture. The second narrowed the focus to fundamental patterns for building sophisticated concurrent and networked software systems and applications. This volume uses design patterns to present techniques for implementing effective resource management in a system. The patterns are covered in detail making use of several examples providing directions to the readers on how to implement the presented patterns. Additionally, the volume presents a thorough introduction into resource management and a case study where the patterns are applied to the domain of mobile radio networks. The patterns are grouped by different areas of resource management and hence address the complete lifecycle of resources: resource acquisition, coordination and release.

Efficient management of resources is critical in any knid of software. From embedded software in a mobile device to software in a large enterprise server, it is important that resources, such as memory, threading, files or network connections, are managed efficiently to allow the systems to function properly & effectively. POSA 3 uses patterns to present techniques for implementing effective resource management in a system. The patterns are covered in detail, making use of several examples.
