Abstract:
An increasing number of systems have a distributed software architecture. The
main focus of this paper is on OMG/CORBA, a widely recognized middleware
standard for heterogeneous and distributed system construction. We discuss
CORBA's object model and its representation in the OMG interface definition
language (IDL). We show how distributed system components written in different
programming languages can be integrated using CORBA's programming language
bindings to IDL. We distinguish static and dynamic invocations and sketch the
higher-level services that are defined for CORBA. The paper concludes
by indicating recent standardization efforts on CORBA undertaken by the OMG.
