| Specification Name: |
CORBA/e |
| Description: |
CORBA/e enables the
implementation of middleware products that are open, mature, robust, and
memory efficient (small footprint); offering high performance and
deterministic real-time behavior - key requirements of most DRE systems.
CORBA/e consolidates CORBA as the dominant standard for embedded
middleware for the foreseeable future.
It is further recognized that there are a wide range of
capabilities in today’s embedded systems. A key tenet of CORBA/e is the
support for "Profiling", a process by which specific subsets of
these CORBA specifications can be defined by different end user
communities and then standardized through the OMG. This will allow
different end user communities to choose the appropriate subset of CORBA
features required by any standards that are developed within that working
group/task force and then for the vendors to produce highly optimized
implementations based on the corresponding CORBA/e specification
(Profile). |

CORBA Reflection |
| Description: |
This specification defines reflective operations for CORBA
objects. Such operations provide a way for applications to obtain metadata
describing an object’s interface directly from the object itself, rather
than requiring the presence of a separate metadata service such as an
Interface Repository. This specification provides a general approach to
metadata discovery based on object narrowing, and it supports multiple
metadata formats in an easily extensible manner. |

| Specification Name: |
Online Upgrades |
| Description: |
Online Upgrades facilitates the safe and orderly upgrading of objects in a manner that is portable
across systems and that is interoperable between systems. It is a first step towards
a more general online upgrade capability. The specification aims to provide the
ability to: • Upgrade individual objects, where such upgrades change the
implementation of the object but do not change the external interfaces of the object
• Pause an object, so that it can be upgraded, while allowing the
object the opportunity to reach a safe and quiescent state • Transfer state from an instance of the old implementation of the
object to an instance of the new implementation of the object, with provision for
such state transfers where the representations of the old state and the new state
are different • Resume service using an instance of the new implementation of the
object without risk that messages will be lost, misordered or processed twice
• Allow client objects to continue to use a server object while
remaining unaware that the server has been upgraded, and allow server objects to continue
to serve a middle-tier client object that also acts as a server while remaining
unaware that the client has been upgraded • Address objects in such a way that a client can continue to use its
existing object reference to access a server after it has been upgraded • Rollback an upgrade, prior to the instance of the new
implementation becoming operational, if some part of the upgrade fails • Revert from an instance of the new implementation to an instance of
the old implementation, if operation with the instance of the new
implementation proves to be unsatisfactory • Perform upgrades on small collections of objects by means of
allowing the application to commit and rollback the upgrades explicitly. |

Quality
of Service for CCM |
| Description: |
This specification
not only supports the consideration of typical QoS properties
like Latency, Throughput, Bandwidth, etc. but also very
different kind of QoS properties (non-functional aspects) like
reservation of computing power or constraining the frequency
of event submission which can be useful for saving battery
power of a mobile device. It also concentrates on the
introduction of container extensibility mechanisms in order to
allow realization of such properties, and does not deal
directly with them, since the needs are very disparate and
sometimes application specific. |

| Specification Name: |
Streams
for CORBA Components |
| Description: |
The CORBA Component Model (CCM) reduces the
complexity of the development of large distributed applications by
defining a component-based programming paradigm where a special runtime
construct, the container, manages and controls certain runtime services,
like transactions and security. The communication of stream data will be
performed by the container. For that reason, communicating containers need
a common understanding about the transport of the data stream. This
specification defines so called transport profiles that state rules of
communication between containers. These profiles are completely
independent of the actual data stream type (content) to be communicated. |
| Keywords: |
basic stream type, constructed stream type,
stream implementation profile, stream port, stream sink, stream source,
stream type meta information, value stream type, transport profile |

| Description: |
This specification provides a standard means for

supporting all kinds of MDA model transformations such PIM-to-PSM and
PSM-to-PSM. It is also designed to work with MOF repositories. |

Profile for CORBA® and CORBA® Component Model (CCM) |
| Description: |
This specification
provides a UML 2 profile that facilitates representation of
concepts needed to represent a pure CORBA or CORBA Components
PSM. In conjunction with existing OMG specifications, namely UML
2, CORBA, CORBA Components and the MOF 2, this will result in
significant benefits to the CORBA and CORBA Components user
community and the users of MDA in general.
This
specification is intended to replace the existing UML Profile
for CORBA and UML Profile for CCM specifications. |

| Specification Name: |
WSDL/SOAP-CORBA
Interworking |
| Description: |
This specification defines a mapping between
WSDL specifications, with a SOAP Binding, to a corresponding set of OMG
IDL interface specifications. This specification is applicable to the
domain of WSDL specifications which use only the constructs which result
from the CORBA to WSDL-SOAP specification. This simplifies the mapping,
and allows for mapping from a restricted WSDL-SOAP subset to CORBA IDL
interfaces. This specification assumes that the CORBA to WSDL-SOAP mapping
includes an identifier for the source OMG IDL file in the resulting WSDL
specification. The WSDL to IDL translator can key off this identifier to
revert to the original IDL specification, rather than performing the
translation algorithm specified in this specification.. |
