An asynchronous message exchange system on CORBA

Abstract

Data exchange by networks is becoming more important due to the growth of the Internet. One popular architectural style for distributed, loosely-coupled, heterogeneous network systems is a structure based on event generation, observation and notification. Based on the event service and naming service defined by OMG (Object Management Group), we build an efficient and Internet-scale event-driven data exchange architecture on CORBA. The asynchronous message exchange system (AMES) provides an asynchronous publish/subscriber communication model and can communicate with legacy systems easily. This system was developed based on the Java programming language and Inprise Visibroker for Java product families.
