Programming in a CORBA Environment

Abstract

The Object Oriented (00) approach to software development is a well-established approach for the development of complex systems in varied application domains. The CORBA standard expands the object-oriented domain to the distributed arena. This presentation is a tour of distributed 00 software development using the CORBA method. It is intended to be suitable both for beginners and for people who have already had some exposure to CORBA. A basic knowledge of 00 concepts is assumed. Java is the language used in the samples provided. All topics will be introduced by providing sample programming code. Topics covered include: What is middleware?, The distinction between Client server and a Distributed Object System?, CORBA IDL, DII, TIE, BOAImpl and some simple Patterns.
