Abstract

The increasing popularity of wireless-enabled PDAs, laptops and smart mobile phones, in addition to an explosion in the number of mobile services and networks, makes necessary the use of supporting frameworks to assist the development of distributed applications in ad hoc networks. Starting from OMG's standards on wireless access in mobile environments, this paper focuses on additional architectural requirements for adapting and extending CORBA's interoperability model so that it can be used to transparently handle GIOP message exchanges among objects across ad hoc networks. The proposed architecture, based on federations of specialized name servers, is described along with a strategy for routing the messages. Finally, implementation details and strategies along with performance and scalability issues are discussed.
