Interoperability

There are many different ORB products currently available; this diversity is very wholesome since it allows the vendors to gear their products towards the specific needs of their operational environment. It also creates the need for different ORBs to interoperate. Furthermore, there are distributed and/or client/server systems which are not CORBA-compliant and there is a growing need for providing interoperability between those systems and CORBA. In order to answer those needs OMG has formulated the ORB interoperability architecture.
