Research Seminar, October 02, 1998

Seminar Announcement


Title: Scaling Distributed Computing with CORBA
Speaker: Paul Scott-Murphy
  Iona Technologies
Date: Friday 2nd October, 1998
Time: 3pm
Venue: Seminar Room 1.24

Abstract

A convenient way of looking at a distributed system is to partition it into a set of cooperating components or objects. The Common Object Request Broker Architecture takes this approach, defining interfaces between components, and using the ORB to simplify the complexities of interfacing components.

In this seminar I will give an introduction to CORBA and the range of CORBA services that extend the core specification. Emphasis will be put on scalable systems, and how CORBA accommodates scalability issues. I will describe current research at IONA Technologies in this area, and give examples of real-world applications that use CORBA to solve scalability problems.
