Abstract
An increasing number of applications are now being developed in a distributed setting. The main focus of this paper is on OMG/CORBA (object management group/common object request broker architecture), a widely recognised middle-ware standard for heterogeneous and distributed application integration. We discuss CORBA´s object model and its representation in the OMG interface definition language (IDL). Programming language bindings to IDL are discussed; static and dynamic invocations are distinguished and CORBA services are sketched. The paper concludes by indicating recent standardisation efforts undertaken by the OMG
