A Primer of CORBA: A Framework for Distributed Applications in Defence

Abstract

Based on object technology, the OMG defines an Object Management Architecture (OMA) for the support of interoperable applications across heterogeneous computing platforms. The communication core of this underlying model is the Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) that provides a framework for flexible and transparent communication between distributed objects. The adoption of this approach eases software development by allowing interaction between reusable components through well-defined interfaces. In particular, applying CORBA technology to C4I problems in the military environment provides simple integration of legacy software and COTS software. This report provides an overview of the OMA, and describes in detail each component of CORBA.
