Distributed Object Computing
- Booch, G. 1994. Object-Oriented Analysis and Design, Second
Edition (Benjamin-Cummings). This second edition of Booch's book is
superb reading. It is also an introduction, but it emphasizes language
constructs, methodology, and notation.

- Cobb, E. What Component Technology Brings to the Mix.
- Edwards, J. 1998. Let's Get Serious About Distributed Computing. Distributed Computing. February 1998.
- Fowler, M. with Scott, K. 1997.

Computing. April 1998.

Transaction Processing
- Andrade, J., Carges, M., Dwyer, T., and Felts, S. 1996.
The TUXEDO System. Addison Wesley. This well-written guide is
meaty enough for programmers—there’s even real coding
examples—but clear enough to serve as an in-depth tutorial if you
are merely computer literate.
- Bernstein, P., and Newcomer, E. 1997. The Principles of Transaction Processing. Morgan Kaufmann. This
book provides a good overview of TP monitors and their underlying technology.
-
Edwards, J., and DeVoe, D. 1997. 3-Tier Client/Server At Work.
Wiley. This book introduces you to 3-Tier computing. More importantly,
it is one of the few case study books on the market. It describes the
architecture and projects behind eight large, in-production client/server
applications.
- Gray, J., and Reuter, A. 1993.
Transaction Processing Concepts and Techniques. Morgan Kaufmann.
This book is the Bible of transaction processing.
- Homan, P. Transaction Processing Technology - Production Proven for
Mission-Critical Enterprises.
- Orfali, R., Harkey, D., and Edwards, J. 1996.
The Essential Client/Server Survival Guide. Second Edition
(Wiley). This gentle introduction covers all of client/server—from
the NOS to TP Monitors, ORBs, and the Internet.
- "The Impact of Object Technology on Commercial Transaction
Processing," The VLDB Journal(February, 1998) by Edward Cobb
explains how objects meet transaction processing requirements.
