CORBA Based Applications Integration with DISCUS - Tapa dura

CORBA (Common Object Request Broker) is an OMG-specification used to solve systems integration challenges. DISCUS is a framework embodying the design principles that use CORBA. This text explains the object-orientated principles and engineering strategies for the design, use and establishment of a successful CORBA-based framework. It also demonstrates how these techniques and strategies are effective both within organizations and across federated communities of software suppliers and consumers.
