Shows an alternative approach to supporting reflection in CORBA. The basic approach involves having each object returns its own metadata, rather than relying on an external service, such as the IFR.
This column discusses a hybrid publisher/subscriber and request/response distribution architecture that uses CCM features to implement stock-quoter example.
This column is the first in a series that focuses on the CORBA Component Model (CCM). It first outlines the evolution of programming abstractions from subroutines to modules, objects, and components. Then it describes how this evolution has largely be...
Load balancing helps improve system scalability by ensuring that client application requests are distributed and processed equitably across a group of servers. Likewise, it helps improve system dependability by adapting dynamically to system configura...
Explores features that allow distributed real-time and embedded applications to select protocol properties and to explicitly bind clients to server objects using pre-allocated connections, priority bands, and private connections.
