Binding, Migration, and Scalability in CORBA
This article explains how CORBA binds requests to object implementations with the help of an implementation repository. The design of the implementation repository has profound influence on the flexibility, performance, scalability, and fault tolerance of an ORB, and we illustrate some of the trade-offs involved in various repository designs. Implementation repositories play an important role in building scalable object systems; we point...

Corba Primer
The Common Object Request Broker Architecture, or CORBA for short, is a specification produced by the Object Management Group (OMG) that addresses interoperability in distributed heterogeneous environments. The CORBA standard represents industry consensus from more than 800 companies. It defines an Object Request Broker (ORB) for transparent invocation on remote objects, as well as supporting system level Object Services and higher level...

Model-checking Middleware-based Event-driven Real-time Embedded Software
Component frameworks such as the CORBA Component Model (CCM) and middleware services such as the CORBA Event Service are increasingly being used to build safety/mission-critical distributed real-time embedded (DRE) systems. In this paper, we present a novel model-checking infrastructure for checking global temporal properties of DRE systems built on top of a Real-Time CORBA Event Service using CCM architectures.

Optimizing the ORB Core to Enhance Real-time CORBA Predictability and Performance
This paper provides the following contributions to the study of QoS-enabled middleware for DRE applications. First, we outline key Real-time CORBA implementation challenges within the ORB Core, focusing on efficient buffer allocation and collocation strategies. Second, we describe how these challenges have been addressed in ZEN, which is an imple-mentation of Real-time CORBA that runs atop RTSJ platforms...

MICO Corba
MICO is a mature, secure, robust, fully standards-compliant implementation of the CORBA standard. It is available as GNU open source software and is widely used (see success stories) for robust application integration. MICO is reknown for its market-leading security features, its great user-friendliness, and its full standard-compliance. ObjectSecurity's reliable technical support and professional project management make MICO the...

Middleware for Embedded Adaptive Dependability (MEAD)
Middleware, such as CORBA and Java, have come to incorporate support for many ``-ilities'' (e.g., reliability, real-time, security). For CORBA middleware, there exist the Fault-Tolerant CORBA and the Real-Time CORBA specifications that aim to provide fault tolerance and real-time, respectively, to CORBA applications.

ROFES: Real-Time CORBA for embedded systems
Middlewares like CORBA and DCOM help to improve the flexibility, extensibility, maintainability and reuseability of distributed applications. But these middleware architectures can not be used to build an avionics mission control application because they do not support real-time features. Therefore the Object Management Group develops a specification for CORBA with a real-time extension and called this specification Real-Time CORBA.
