Takes a look at the Real-Time CORBA specification that defined several mechanisms to provide for end-to-end deterministic performance for CORBA operations.

Discusses the C++ language mapping for object references, addresses memory management issues related to object references, and demonstrates the correct means of exchanging object references during CORBA request invocations. This article focuses on obj...

Introduces Fault Tolerant CORBA and describe the architecture set forth in the FT CORBA specification.

Discusses the issues raised by, and choices available for bootstrapping a CORBA application so that each of the processes may access the services of its peer processes. Describes the options for developers and considers the performance, and reliabilit...

This article covers the pitfalls of CORBA.

Explains the low-level protocols used.

Outlines upcoming changes to the CORBA specification, and explains what it means for current and future projects, and interoperability with other component models.

Covers existing CORBA CosEvent services and the enhancements which will be made to them with the introduction of advanced notification services in CORBA 3.0.

Describes CORBA Portable Interceptors, which are objects that an ORB invokes in the path of an operation invocation to monitor or modify the behavior of the invocation transparently.

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...
