Real-Time CORBA Priority and Threadpool Mechanisms
This article covers a number of mechanisms in the real-time CORBA specification, including the real-time object request broker (ORB), real-time portable object adapter (POA), threadpools, and private connections.
Attaining CORBA Interoperability Through Codeset Translation
Using TAO, developers wishing to deploy a distributed application that interchanges text data between platforms using different character codesets may produce, or otherwise acquire, translators that simply plug into the framework and allow for data exchange without modifying the participating applications.
Bootstrapping Techniques
In this article, Kevin Stanley discusses the issues raised by, and choices available for, bootstrapping a CORBA application so that each of the processes may access the services of its peer processes.
Local Interfaces
This article covers the details of local interfaces, how they can be used in IDL and your applications, and how to implement them using C++.
