CORBA Directories for Virtual Home Environments

چکیده
In this paper, we present a CORBA directory which serves for the easy deployment of intelligent services in VHE scenarios. This approach bridges the gap between LDAP and CORBA technology as the de-facto standards for directory and distributed object technology, respectively. We have implemented both pure CORBA servers and LDAP wrappers, each of which providing fully transparent CORBA access to a heterogeneous network of directories. The performance results show the superiority of our approach. Finally, we demonstrate the value of the CORBA directory for various aspects of mobility in VHE.

Mobility Support with Corba Directories
In the very near future, various aspects of mobility will play a major role in telecommunications. For the support of user and service mobility, the location-independent storage and retrieval of all kind of user-related information is essential. For this purpose, directories are the basic supporting technology. One of the most widely accepted standards for directories is LDAP. On the other hand...
متن کاملCORBA-Based Collaboration in a Virtual Assembly Design Environment
The use of virtual environments to plan and evaluate assembly processes has been gaining significant acceptance in the engineering community. The prohibitive costs of immersive virtual environments and the availability of the internet have brought to the forefront the need for methods for sharing the virtual environment during the assembly evaluation process. This will support true collaborativ...
متن کاملTool Environments in CORBA-Based Medical High Performance Computing
High-performance computing in medical science has led to important progress in the field of computer tomography. A fast calculation of various types of images is a precondition for statistical comparison of big sets of input data. With our current research we adapted parallel programs from PVM to CORBA. CORBA makes the integration into clinical environments much easier. In order to improve the ...
متن کاملA Real-time Corba Middleware for Networked Surgical Simulations
Virtual environments are a promising new medium among the simulation methods for surgical education. The accessibility of surgical virtual environments can be substantially extended by network communications. However, the network settings pose some non-trivial problems in terms of bandwidth limits, delays, etc. for distributed surgical virtual simulations. In our previous work [3], we presented...
متن کاملA Software Architecture for Intelligent Virtual Environments Applied to Education
This paper describes the software architecture that has been designed as a model for the application of Intelligent Virtual Environments to training activities. CORBA has been used as the middleware to integrate a graphical and interactive environment developed in OpenGL and Visual C++, with a cooperative multi-agent system developed on top of the JADE
