Flexible Support of Orb Interoperability Flexible Support of Orb Interoperability

The Camouflage Project is a national german research initiative led by the Deutsche Telekom. It aims at the provision of a TINA conform distributed processing environment based on existing legacy telecommunication systems. To achieve this goal new concepts for the interoperability between CORBA islands have been developed and implemented. This comprises pluggable Message Transfer Protocols and Remote Operations Protocols. Both features enable ORB‘s to interwork highly efficient on top of existing telecommunication networks, although the approach is not restricted to telecommunication networks. Selected results of the project have been brought into the OMG standardization process.
