Using CORBA to Accelerate Distributed Application Development and Improve Network Management
written by  Jon Currey, Senior Systems Engineer, Highlander Engineering

Abstract
The Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) [1] standard is an increasingly common means for implementing distributed, embedded computer-based applications. Two particularly popular application area for
embedded CORBA have been building Java and Web-based Graphical User Interfaces (GUI) and easing and improving the network manageability of communications equipment. Embedded markets in which CORBA has made
significant inroads include telecommunications, defense electronics, manufacturing equipment and instrumentation.

Real-time CORBA Theory and Practice: A Standards-based Approach to the Development of Distributed Real-time Systems
written by Jon Currey, Senior Systems Engineer, Highlander Engineering
Source: Embedded Systems Conference San Jose 2000 Proceedings

Abstract
Embedded systems developers have embraced the Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) standard as a means for integrating with enterprise systems and supporting network management. Despite the overall
popularity of CORBA, it has not been widely used for developing time-critical components of distributed real-time applications. This is because CORBA did not address real-time requirements, leaving it as an exercise to the user or CORBA vendor. In order to extend the benefits of CORBA to real-time systems, the Real-time CORBA specification was adopted in 1999. This standard tackles the key issue of end-to-end predictability across a CORBA system, and provides its solution in terms of priority control, synchronization, protocol selection and other forms of resource control. This paper reviews the features and use of the Real-time CORBA specification and provides insight into the future of embedded and Real-time CORBA standardization from a member of the OMG's Real-time group.
