CONCLUSION

The CORBA middleware has served to extend the capabilities of the programming languages used by BD application developers, thereby elevating the level at which high-level software applications are designed and implemented. The power and flexibility of the POA, coupled with the server activation records stored within the IMR, has been exploited to provide a robust and modular CORBA based client-server framework. The model has been proved to be both reliable and stable by the many applications deployed in the commissioning and first operation of the SLS.
