Book excerpt: This book provides a comprehensive introduction to WAVE, a revolutionary technology that combines the power and flexibility of conventional sequential programming with the open, fully distributed architectures found in the most sophisticated CORBA-based systems. Developed by Peter Sapaty--a noted pioneer in the use of intelligent agents in open and distributed computing--more than a decade before Java, WAVE was designed specifically for use in large-scale distributed information systems. In Mobile Processing in Distributed and Open Environments, Sapaty provides a complete, hands-on tutorial in the WAVE programming language and its applications. Rather than simply describe the language and its features, he supplies a vast collection of WAVE algorithms, fully explained with working examples and application suggestions. He also supplies expert advice and guidance on designing, developing, and managing agent systems. Crucial topics covered include: * Managing information networks * Designing and managing communication networks * Performing distributed simulation and virtual reality with WAVE * Building and managing intelligent infrastructures for distributed systems * Using WAVE in conventional programming
