Too early to deploy CORBA but now is a good time to start some experiments -- develop standards, evolve RIB development with futures in mind

NPAC is already involved in building Java/CORBA based Object Web infrastructure.
|
|
We expect our Java based WORB (Web Object Request Broker) together with selected services (including Trader) to be available by the early `98.
|
|
One could use NPAC WORB or similar system as an experimental platform to investigate merging RIB with CORBA Trading Services.
|
Natural steps in this process would include:
-
develop IDL interfaces to the RIB classes
-
develop object wrappers for selected HPCC packages, for example matrix algebra libraries.
-
Merge RIB with CORBA Trader via the Trader proxy mechanism
-
Verify the approach with RIG and OMG, and develop CORBA facility proposal
