Jabber Developers Handbook (Developer's Library)

by WilliamWright (Author), Dana Moore (Author)

Synopsis

The Internet is evolving into an infrastructure where applications can converse with one another in a much different way than the traditional page-serving architectures of the first generation Web.

Through examples and clear explanations, Jabber Developer?s Handbook demonstrates how Jabber, currently the world?s most important open source messaging protocol, can be used to go beyond interactive chat and file sharing to build flexible, reliable, and powerful distributed software systems. Peer-to-peer applications using the Jabber open source toolkit, and leverage its use with other readily available and open source software and middleware. It explains how to use Jabber peer-to-peer technologies to solve troublesome reliability and interoperability issues with distributed systems. While peer-to-peer computing and Jabber are considered fairly new technologies, the authors have extensive hands-on experience in applying a variety of system messaging technologies.

Jabber Developer?s Handbook shows how to design, build, and integrate peer-to-peer applications using the Jabber open source toolkit, and leverage its use with other readily available and open source software and middleware. It explains how to use Jabber peer-to-peer technologies to solve troublesome reliability and interoperability issues with distributed systems. While peer-to-peer computing and Jabber are considered fairly new technologies, the authors have extensive hands-on experience in applying a variety of system messaging technologies.

He joined BBN in June 2001 to focus on ULTRA*LOG, a DARPA initiative to build very large-scale Java-based multi-agent societies. Previously, he was Chief Scientist with Roku Technologies, a P2P infrastructure developer, and prior to that, a Distinguished Member of Technical Staff at AT&T Laboratories Research. He is the coauthor of Peer-to-Peer: Building Secure, Scalable, and Manageable Networks. He is a popular conference speaker on software agent systems and various management topics, a university lecturer, and he has contributed articles for numerous computing publications. Moore holds a master of science degree in Technology Management from the University of Maryland, and a bachelor of science in Industrial Design, also from the University of Maryland.

William Wright is a Division Engineer with BBN Technologies in Arlington, VA. He provides architecture design and development support for several projects utilizing the Cognitive Agent Architecture (Cougaar) distributed software agent framework. He led the integration and demonstration of one of the world's largest software agent systems, and led the development of an extension to Cougaar to bring agent technology to embedded systems. He has recently written for Java Developer's Journal, Dr. Dobb's Journal, and Embedded Systems Programming magazines. He is coauthor of the book Beginning Java Networking. Wright holds an M.S. in computer science from George Mason University and a Bachelor of Music Education from Indiana University.
