-THE ADAPTIVE COMMUNICATION ENVIRONMENT (ACE)
-
-An Object-Oriented Network Programming Toolkit
-
-----------------------------------------
-
-Overview of ACE
-
-The ADAPTIVE Communication Environment (ACE) is an object-oriented
-(OO) toolkit that implements fundamental design patterns for
-communication software.  ACE provides a rich set of reusable C++
-wrappers and frameworks that perform common communication software
-tasks across a range of OS platforms, including Win32 (i.e., WinNT
-3.5.x/4.x, Win95, and WinCE), most versions of UNIX (e.g., SunOS 4.x
-and 5.x, SGI IRIX 5.x and 6.x, HP-UX 9.x, 10.x, and 11.x, DEC UNIX
-4.x, AIX 4.x, Linux, SCO, UnixWare, NetBSD, and FreeBSD), real-time
-operating systems (e.g., VxWorks, Chorus, LynxOS, and pSoS), and MVS
-OpenEdition.  A single source tree is used for all these platforms and
-porting ACE to other platforms is relatively easy.
-
-The communication software components provided by ACE include event
-demultiplexing and event handler dispatching, service initialization,
-interprocess communication, shared memory management, message routing,
-dynamic (re)configuration of distributed services, multi-threading,
-and concurrency control.  There are both C++ and Java versions of ACE
-available.
-
-ACE is targeted for developers of high-performance and real-time
-communication services and applications on UNIX, POSIX, and Win32
-platforms.  ACE simplifies the development of OO network applications
-and services that utilize interprocess communication, event
-demultiplexing, explicit dynamic linking, and concurrency.  ACE
-automates system configuration and reconfiguration by dynamically
-linking services into applications at run-time and executing these
-services in one or more processes or threads.
-
-ACE is currently used in commercial projects and products by dozens of
-companies including Ericsson, Bellcore, Siemens, Motorola, Kodak,
-Boeing, Lucent, DEC, Lockheed Martin, and SAIC.  Commercial support
-for ACE is available at http://www.riverace.com.
-
-----------------------------------------
-
-C++ Wrappers for OS Interfaces
-
-The lower-level portions of ACE provide a set of portable and
-type-secure C++ wrappers that encapsulate the following C language OS
-interfaces:
-
-        . IPC mechanisms
-                -- e.g., Internet- and UNIX-domain sockets, TLI, Named
-                   Pipes (for UNIX and Win32) and STREAM pipes;
-
-        . Event demultiplexing
-                -- e.g., select(), poll(), and Win32
-                   WaitForMultipleObjects and I/O completion ports;
-
-        . Multi-threading and synchronization
-                -- e.g., Solaris threads, POSIX Pthreads, and Win32
-                   threads;
-
-        . Explicit dynamic linking
-                -- e.g., dlopen/dlsym on UNIX and LoadLibrary/GetProc
-                   on Win32;
-
-        . Memory-mapped files and shared memory management
-                -- e.g., BSD mmap(), SYSV shared memory, and Win32
-                   shared memory;
-
-        . System V IPC
-                -- e.g., shared memory, semaphores, message queues.
-
-The OS Adaptation Layer shields the upper levels of ACE from platform
-dependencies associated with the underlying OS interfaces.
-
-----------------------------------------
-
-Frameworks and Class Categories
-
-ACE also contains a higher-level network programming framework that
-integrates and enhances the lower-level C++ wrappers.  This framework
-supports the dynamic configuration of concurrent distributed services
-into applications.  The framework portion of ACE contains the
-following class categories:
-
-        . The Reactor
-                -- Supports both Reactive and Proactive I/O;
-
-        . The Service Configurator
-                -- Support dynamic (re)configuration of objects;
-
-        . The ADAPTIVE Service Executive
-                -- A user-level implementation of System V STREAMS,
-                   that supports modular integration of
-                   hierarchically-related communicaion services;
-
-        . Concurrency
-                -- Various types of higher-level concurrency
-                   control and synchronization patterns (such as
-                   Polymorphic Futures and Active Objects);
-
-        . Shared Malloc
-                -- Components for managing dynamically allocation
-                   of shared and local memory;
-
-----------------------------------------
-
-Distributed Services and Components
-
-Finally, ACE provides a standard library of distributed services that
-are packaged as components.  These service components play two roles
-in ACE:
-
-        1. They provide reusable components for common distributed
-           system tasks such as logging, naming, locking, and time
-           synchronization.
-
-        2. They illustrate how to utilize ACE features such as the
-           Reactor, Service Configurator, Service Initialization,
-           Concurrency, and IPC components.
-
-----------------------------------------
-
-Middleware Applications
-
-ACE has been used in research and development projects at many
-universities and companies.  For instance, it has been used to build
-avionics systems at Boeing, telecommunication systems at Bellcore,
-Ericsson, Motorola, and Lucent; medical imaging systems at Siemens and
-Kodak; and many academic research projects.  Two example middleware
-applications provided with the ACE release include:
-
-        1. The ACE ORB (TAO) -- TAO is a real-time implementation of
-           CORBA built using the framework components and patterns
-           provided by ACE.
-
-        2. JAWS -- JAWS is a high-performance, adaptive Web server
-           built using the components in ACE.
-
