However due to the adoption of asynchronous messaging [6] and research into real time CORBA [7,8,9,10,21] CORBA now represents a technology mature enough to provide much of the functionality required in DVE development. Typically, most DVE applications and DVE development toolkits use distributed callbacks extensively as a method of event notification ....

For many types of distributed applications, the CORBA asynchronous method invocation (AMI) mechanism can improve concurrency, scalability, and responsiveness significantly [1].

....be used to select and configure certain protocol properties. In addition, client applications can explicitly bind to server objects using priority bands and private connections, as described below. 2.2. 1 Selecting and Configuring Protocol Properties CORBA uses inter ORB communication mechanisms [31] to exchange requests between clients and servers. These mechanisms are built upon lower level protocols that provide various types of QoS. Inter ORB protocol (IOP) instances are composed of both an ORB protocol and a mapping to a specific underlying transport protocol. For example, the Internet ....
