The book addresses readers that are interested in the design and
development of distributed software systems relying on the Common Object
Request Broker Architecture (CORBA). CORBA is an industry standard that
has considerably changed the way that modern information systems are
developed. It enables the platform-independent and
programming-language-independent implementation of distributed
object-oriented systems and supports the migration of legacy systems
into modern architectures as well. The book is intended in particular
for students of computer science and management information systems in
their graduate studies as well as for practitioners and professional
software developers that are looking for fast access to CORBA technology
and want to profit from meaningful code examples. Three different ORBs,
examples, and exercices with solutions are available for download.
