Abstract
This chapter highlights some advanced aspects of Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA). CORBA is being actively evolved by the Object Management Group, and with the current dissemination of CORBA platforms, this will continue for a long time. In the meantime, Web Services have gotten a strong following. As is generally the case, there is no silver bullet. While CORBA and Web Services will remain key technologies for many applications, new challenges arise with new kinds of network infrastructures. It is necessary to radically redefine the notion of middleware when it comes to ubiquitous computing and sensor networks. These areas are still subject to active research, but the prospects of new technologies, new infrastructures, and new paradigms are exciting. CORBA 3.0 introduced the CORBA Component Model (CCM), which enables developers to implement fine-grained components, and then to assemble them into a component-based application. The CCM allows for component-based development, using CORBA as the glue and means of communication among components.
