CORBA: Failed Distributed Architecture (The Technium Podcast S02 E07)

The Technium

CORBA is an acronym that stands for common object request, broker architecture. It provides interoperability among distributed objects regardless of whether they're remote or local, regardless of whether they're written in different languages or in different locations of the network.

We discuss its influence on distributed systems, and where we are today with these large scale systems
