Introduction to TIBCO Rendezvous Software

TIBCO Rendezvous software makes it easy to create distributed applications that exchange data across a network. You get software support for network data transport and network data representation. Rendezvous software supports many hardware and software platforms, so programs running on many different kinds of computers on a network can communicate seamlessly.

From the programmer’s perspective, the Rendezvous software suite includes two main components—a Rendezvous programming language interface (API) and the Rendezvous daemon.

Rendezvous software includes several programming language interfaces, which are efficient, easy to use, and compatible with most other libraries (including window systems). Other books in the documentation set describe the Rendezvous API for various programming languages.

The Rendezvous daemon runs on each participating computer on your network. All information that travels between program processes passes through the Rendezvous daemon as the information enters and exits host computers. The daemon also passes information between program processes running on the same host.

Rendezvous programs are programs that use Rendezvous software to communicate over a network.

A Rendezvous distributed application system is a set of Rendezvous programs that cooperate to fulfill a mission.
