Abstract

The CORBA international standard is developed by the Object Management Group to provide means for handling the inherent complexity of distributed systems development. On the one hand, the availability of a standardized middleware which decouples distribution related aspects from the application development is undoubtedly very helpful in heterogeneous settings. On the other hand, the constantly growing complexity of the CORBA standard is accompanied by only basic support in todays modeling tools and integrated development environments. Therefore, the design and implementation of distributed systems is still a time consuming task which needs the expertise of specialists. In order to support the rapid prototyping of distributed systems and to make the CORBA technology more accessible to developers who are not experts in this area, the focus of this article is on concepts and tool support for the automated prototyping of CORBA distributed systems with special emphasize on Java as target programming language.
