Performance Analysis and Tuning of Distributed Objects

In response to major trends in the telecommunications market today and under influence of the emerging distributed computing technology the telecommunications industry is embracing distributed object platforms as a means enabling the successful participation in the open global services market of the foreseen era with new and advanced service offerings under increasing competition in a multi-vendor environment. In this realm, this paper presents an attempt to evaluate the performance of DCOM and CORBA under conditions which are common in telecommunications services engineered as distributed object applications. Finally, after the examination of important issues regarding the DCOM remoting architecture, some conclusions are drawn.
