“The long-sought ability to run applications on different
servers in far-flung places over the Internet without an army of
high-end developers came a step closer this week as the Object
Management Group (OMG) adopted the CORBA Component Model.
“The last of a slew of esoteric technologies that comprise CORBA
3, the Component Model has implications far greater than its
acronym-strewn lineage would indicate.
“The model, expected to be officially adopted by the OMG board
in December, will make it easier for a broader group of
developers to take advantage of the complex CORBA interoperability
services.”
