Foil 41 Java ORB Approaches to Distributed Objects - II The object web awakens!

From General NPAC Foils-B starting June97(PowerPoint) Seamless Computing Conference ECMWF Reading England -- Sept 17,97. by Geoffrey C. Fox
Of particular interest are Java based ORBs or ORBlets which can be downloaded as applets to enable CORBA capabilities also at the client/browser side.
An alternative, offered by Netscape, is a resident ORB support in all browser and server products.
Java based ORBs will soon turn the Web, so far acting as a largely passive document publishing framework, into a powerful dynamic world-wide distributed object-based computing environment.
