Written for the software development community at large, this highly accessible guide features a comprehensive description of the architecture for distributed object-oriented environments based upon the Object Management Group's (OMG's) universally accepted specifications. Focusing primarily on a description of the Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) - the most significant innovation in object technology to date - this important new book not only provides detailed information on architecture and functionality, but also describes three of today's most important commercially available CORBA-compliant products: Hewlett-Packard's Distributes Smalltalk, IBM's SOMObjects, and DEC's ObjectBroker. Also covered in depth are Object Services, the Object Database Management Group (ODMG), and the ODMG-93 object database standard to provide software developers, system architects, system analysts, and MIS managers with a complete picture of the standards and technologies in the distributed object-oriented systems arena.
