One of the most influential anthropological works of the last two decades, Alfred Gell’s Art and Agency is a provocative and ambitious work that both challenged and reshaped anthropological understandings of art, agency, creativity and the social. It has become a touchstone in contemporary artifact-based scholarship. This volume brings together leading anthropologists, archaeologists, art historians and other scholars into an interdisciplinary dialogue with Art and Agency, generating a timely re-engagement with the themes, issues and arguments at the heart of Gell’s work, which remains salient, and controversial, in the social sciences and humanities. Extending his theory into new territory – from music to literary technology and ontology to technological change – the contributors do not simply take stock, but also provoke, critically reassessing this important work while using it to challenge conceptual and disciplinary boundaries.

Winner! 1996 Software Development/Jolt Productivity Award! "The first clear roadmap to commercial-grade object-oriented systems that many have been waiting for." -Tibbets and Bernstein, Information Week "A worthy sequel to The Essential Client/Server Survival Guide. It frames the CORBA and OLE/COM debate in ways useful to anyone curious about the technical underpinnings of a global computing fabric." -Jon Udell, Byte "Chock-full of useful information." -Mark Betz, Windows Tech Journal This is your best source to help you make intelligent decisions about distributed objects, component technologies, and their standards. Bestselling authors Orfali, Harkey, and Edwards combine detailed technical explanations with their unique brand of offbeat humor-using clever cartoons, controversial soapboxes, and witty quotes. You'll get the full story on distributed objects, including: * What CORBA 2.0 and OLE/COM can do, and how they differ * How distributed objects, components, and client/server come together * Detailed coverage of object frameworks, component suites, business objects, compound documents, and TP monitors * The inside scoop on key products like SOM, Orbix, ObjectBroker, Newi, and DOE Visit our web page at www.wiley.com/compbooks/

Distributed Object Computing teaches readers the fundamentals of CORBA, the leading architecture for design of software used in parallel and distributed computing applications. Since CORBA is based on open standards, it is the only effective way to learn object-oriented programming for distributed systems. This language independent book allows material to be taught using Java, C++ or other Object Oriented Programming Languages.

Distributed Object Architectures with CORBA is a guide to designing software comprised of distributed components. While it is based on OMG's Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) standard, the principles also apply to architecture built with other technology (such as Microsoft's DCOM). As ORB products evolve to incorporate new additions to CORBA, the knowledge and experience required to build stable and scalable systems is not widespread. With this volume the reader can develop the skills and knowledge that are necessary for building such systems. The book assumes a familiarity with object-oriented concepts and the basics of CORBA. Software developers who are new to building systems with CORBA-based technologies will find this a useful guide to effective development.
