Distributed Method Management with Corba

The Internet hosts a rapidly number of services for remote computing. The second generation of services are distributed method management systems (DMMS) that support consumers and providers to participate in electronic markets for methods (programs, scripts, etc.). We suggest to build standardized DMMS based on CORBA, instead of heterogeneous, domain speciic solutions. An architecture is proposed and a simple solution to wrap script-like methods into CORBA Application Objects is presented.
