OMG (Object Management Group) architecture and CORBA (common object request broker architecture) specification

Summary form only given, as follows. The Object Management Group is a not-for-profit umbrella organisation set up in 1989 to promote industry standards for application integration via object technology. OMG does not itself produce specifications or software; instead it populates its architectural framework (the object management architecture) with interface specifications solicited from its member organisations. The central plank of this architecture is the object request broker, the mechanism which seamlessly transmits requests and responses between objects in a distributed heterogenous computing environment.<>
