Efficiency of Distributed Parallel Processing Using Java RMI, Sockets, and CORBA: Software development is proceeding at a remarkable rate. Many new tools are available to the researcher in parallel and distributed processing. These tools include PVM, MPI, and Java. But, recently, a more general tool, Common Object Request Broker Architecture, CORBA has appeared. Since it allows a general view of remote...; Tags: Parallel Processing, Java RMI, Corba, Middleware, Programming Languages, Java, Enterprise Software, Software Development, Software/Web Development, Software; White papers 2007-12-01
The second object era and open source: The history of programming is filled with fads.Some, like artificial intelligence and virtual reality, shine like supernova, then fade away.Others, like objects, just seem to. (The illustration is from a 2002 article on CORBA and JavaBeans.)I remember covering CORBA and DCOM objects in the early 1990s. The aim in both...; Tags: Strategy, middleware, java, General, Development, business models; Blog posts 2007-06-12
Load Testing SOAs Which Utilize Web Services: Service-Oriented Architectures SOA, despite being a hot topic, are far from new.

Web Services Testing: A Primer: DCOM and CORBA traditionally achieved what web services are now offering but with an exception to interoperability, which they later provide in a true sense. In addition, COM+, DCOM Distributed Component Object Model implementations from Microsoft were resource-intensive and were native to a specific Microsoft OS flavor. In other words,...; Tags: Web, Web Service, DCOM, Corba, ActiveX/COM/COM+/DCOM, Middleware, Enterprise Software, Software Development, Software/Web Development, Software; White papers 2007-05-07
DDObjects (zip): DDObjects is a remoting framework to be used with Borland Delphi and C++ Builder which originally has been started out of personal interest for technologies like DCOM, RMI, Corba.

Using PowerBuilder Components Within Sybase WorkSpace 1.5: SOA has evolved over the last decade and refers to an architectural framework for building applications. SOA is neither a technology nor a product. It is a set of frameworks, patterns, designs, and development principles for modular applications. SOA builds on the legacy of Remote Procedure Calls RPC, Common Object...; Tags: Sybase PowerBuilder, SOA, Sybase Inc., Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA), Middleware, Databases, Corba, Programming Languages, Development Tools, Web Services, Enterprise Software, Software, Data Management, Software Development, Software/Web Development; White papers 2006-11-01
Resource Virtualization in Real-Time CORBA Middleware: Middleware for parallel and distributed systems is designed to virtualize computation and communication resources so that a more abstract and consistent view of those resources is presented to the applications that use them. This paper describes several examples of real-time CORBA middleware and examines how different constraints impact the way...; Tags: Virtualization, Corba, Middleware, Enterprise Software, Software Development, Software/Web Development, Software; White papers 2006-10-25
Strategies and Insights Into SCA-Compliant Waveform Application Development: Embedded communications engineers are faced with numerous challenges as radio technology drives towards Software-Defined Radio SDR-based heterogeneous compute platforms. The Joint Tactical Radio System JTRS program has attempted to ease development and porting costs by requiring the use of the Software Communication Architecture SCA for SDR systems. The SCA is...; Tags: Strategy, Application Development, Mitre Corp., Service Component Architecture, System Software, Joint Tactical Radio System Program, Software Communication Architecture, Corba, Tools & Techniques, Middleware, Enterprise Software, Software Development, Software/Web Development, Management, Software; White papers 2006-08-11
Should SOA be run more like open-source projects?: Should SOA be run more like open-source projects?Consfusion between technology and architectureI agree absolutely with the lessons to be learned from CORBA when it comes to complexity; over-engineered standards designed to address the needs of a broad church and so forth. However, I am not sure it is right to...; Tags: Service-oriented architecture (SOA), Web services, Middleware, Enterprise software, SOA, CORBA, open source; Discussion threads 2006-06-27
Should SOA be run more like open-source projects?: Is SOA best left to a small cabal of "experts"? In the early 1990s, leading technology thinkers and doers recognized that enterprises needed to install a service layer that would abstract needed services from various, sundry, and mostly incompatible back-end systems. (Sound familiar?) Thus, CORBA (Common Object Request Broker...; Tags: CORBA; Blog posts 2006-06-27
UML to CORBA Transformation in Rational Software Architect: IBM Rational Software Architect RSA is a Unified Modeling Language UML 2.0-compliant modeling tool.

Evaluation of Three Approaches for CORBA Firewall/NAT Traversal: Applications that use CORBA as communication layer often have some restrictions for multi-domain deployment. This is particularly true when they have to face firewall/NAT traversal. Furthermore, nowadays there isn't a well-accepted unique or standardized solution adopted by all ORBs, compelling applications using this middleware to use proprietary solutions that sometimes...; Tags: Network Address Translation, Firewalls, Corba, Network Security, Security, Middleware, Networking, Enterprise Software, Software Development, Software/Web Development, Software; White papers 2005-09-13
Simplicity is bliss: Simplicity is blissOccam's Razor versus the swiss army knifeThe advances in mathematics come from finding a simpler way of doing something that was previously complicated. As software is a branch of applied mathematics the same applies by inference to software.

Simplicity is bliss: I'm tasked, among other things, with writing a C++ component that makes CORBA calls (no alternative, because that's the requirement). Sounds about as much fun as wrestling a guy wearing a suit made of sandpaper, doesn't it?
