Abstract

A communication infrastructure for enterprise information systems requires not only interoperability but also high reliability. An effective way to allow for differences in operation time and administrative policies is to provide non-blocking communication interface. In the CORBA 2.0 specification, however, non-blocking communication is not defined as a delivery reliability aspect. The OMG is working on standards for Messaging Service, and has taken up reliability as one QoS property. This does not mean, however, that reliability will always be defined as a function when ORB is implemented. It is therefore important to realize reliability on CORBA at the application level. This paper proposes and implements a communication method whereby the client is not blocked while communicating, and a method for realizing this as an application on CORBA. It then evaluates the implemented system and show the effectiveness of the proposed method for enterprise information systems.
