IBM Business Frameworks: San Francisco project technical overview

摘要

Software developers face significant challenges as they attempt to modernize current applications to take advantage of the benefits of distributed objects. The cost of developing the next generation of ap- plications as industrial-strength distributed-object so- lutions will be prohibitive for many software vendors, because their skills are in developing procedural ap- plications. Some vendors have indicated that as much as 80 percent of their development cost is in writing and supporting the basic, noncompetitive functions that are essentially the same for any application so- lution offered in a specific domain.
