Foil 24 Advantages of CORBA Solution - II

From Master Set of Foils for 1996 Session of CPS615 NHSE Review Argonne -- September 30 97. by Geoffrey C. Fox, Wojtek Furmanski
Current ORB products are still rather expensive but the rapid onset of the Object Web will drive down the prices in the CORBA software domain down and one can expect free implementations of CORBA to appear soon as well.
Looking more into the future, new more advanced distributed computing capabilities of relevance to software repositories are in the OMG standardization pipeline and to become part of CORBA3. These include:
  • Passing objects by value (to enable multi-language code mobility)
  • Intelligent agents (to enable mobile autonomous traders)
  • Workflow (to enable remote execution of dataflow linked object sets)
