CORBA Middleware State of the Art

With many years of proven use CORBA still remains the most important technology for integrating diverse, complex heterogeneous mission-critical systems. At the heart of CORBA’s success is its unique ability to enable the development of interoperable distributed systems regardless of platform, operating system, programming language and network.

For mission critical systems in key markets such as defense, aerospace, commercial telecommunications network management and software defined radio, CORBA also offers excellent support for a range of non functional Qualities-Of-Service (QoS) that are key for the middleware used in these types of system. These key QoS characteristics include support for low latency, high throughput communications, real-time predictability, secure communications and fault tolerance. Unlike other alternative middleware technologies such as Web Services or J2EE, CORBA can also support an interoperable communication infrastructure from the very smallest embedded environment to the largest enterprise system

This webcast will show how with the adoption of new CORBA standards such as CORBA/e and the emerging Lightweight Fault Tolerance for Distributed Real-time Systems specification, CORBA continues to evolve in order to meet the current and future requirements for its core user base developing mission-critical distributed systems. We will also demonstrate that rather than viewing CORBA simply as a legacy technology, it is in fact still very much at the cutting edge of SOA based system development.

Audience: IT Managers, System and Software Architects, Developers, Technologists, and Analysts.
