A Study in the Use of CORBA in Real-Time Settings: Model Problems for the Manufacturing Domain - Technical report from the SEI (CMU/SEI-97-TR-011), by Andreas Polze, Daniel Plakosh, and Kurt Wallnau. This report describes the application of an off-the-shelf ORB to two real-time model problems. Based on the authors' experiences, they believe that today's ORBs can be used in real-time settings, with certain caveats as outlined in this report. They also outline the concept of composite objects, an approach for extending the range of non-real-time ORBs into a greater variety of real-time settings. A PDF version of this report is also available at http://www.sei.cmu.edu/pub/documents/97.reports/pdf/97tr011.pdf.
Client/Server with Distributed Objects - CORBA 2.0 mechanisms and services define how today's desktop objects and components can ride on tomorrow's intergalactic software bus. Article from Byte magazine, April 1995, by Robert Orfali and Dan Harkey.
Intergalactic Client/Server Computing - In today's Ethernet era, there are four overlapping client/server paradigms--SQL databases, TP monitors, groupware, and distributed objects. The next big wave is about to catapult them all into the intergalactic client/server era. Article from April 1995 Byte Magazine, by Robert Orfali, Dan Harkey, and Jeri Edwards.
Scale Up with TP Monitors - When client/server applications grow to accommodate hundreds or thousands of clients, today's operating systems break down. Here's how TP monitors come to the rescue. Article from Byte Magazine, April 1995, by Jim Gray and Jeri Edwards.
