Many distributed systems use events for asynchronous communication. Although the CORBA Event Service provides a flexible model for event-based communication among objects, further work is needed to support the important features required by real-time applications such as network management, avionics, etc. where timely delivery of events and more complex event correlation are desirable. In this ...
