Abstract :
Distributed object computing forms the basis for next-generation application middleware. At the heart of distributed object computing are object request brokers (ORBs), which automate many tedious and error-prone distributed programming tasks. This article presents a case study of key patterns used to develop ORBs that can be dynamically configured and evolved for specific application requirements and network/end-system characteristics
