Creating Resource Agents for Collaborative Engineering Environment (CEE) Research Using the Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) Framework

Abstract

In this report we describe the setup of a collaborative engineering environment (CEE) for performing research on the performance of distributed systems. We provide the basis for implementing a multi-tiered host network that is capable of operating across several different computing platforms without modification to system software. The CEE allows multiple processes to be launched on remote systems taking advantage of distributed processing capabilities. The object broker within the environment provides a platform to test and analyze smart network software. Smart network software includes but is not limited to algorithms and methods to determine which available processor is the best choice for performing a particular task or operation.
