Dynamic architecture description of CORBA-based distributed applications

In this paper, we present a novel graph-oriented approach to architecting and modeling CORBA-based distributed applications. It provides higher-level abstractions for the architecture description of CORBA-based distributed applications. In the proposed model, the software architecture of a CORBA-based distributed application is described as a logical graph separated from the programming of the constituent components of the application. It also provides more powerful support for specifying dynamism in software architecture and simplification of CORBA programming.
