Annick Fron, Consultant

Waterfront Centre Hotel
Waterfront Ballroom B

CORBA is now a widespread technology. It has gained so many extensions that it becomes useful to tune its usage to best fit application-specific requirements. This tutorial will focus on applications and project requirements, looking at modeling and deployment aspects rather than raw technology, building on concrete experience and case studies in different vertical fields; such as, banking, telecommunications, etc.

Participants will get an overview of the different aspects to consider when tuning CORBA to a specific application, with examples in several vertical fields, including telecommunications and air traffic control. They will be given a number of caveats for migrating large applications. They will be provided an overview of existing techniques, strategies and products, a list of criteria for design and procurement decision, as well as useful pointers to answer their forthcoming questions.

Attendee Background: Attendees should be acquainted with CORBA and object-oriented concepts. This tutorial is targeted at software designers who have specific application needs and look towards CORBA solutions, and software engineers who want to gain insight into CORBA application domains and implementation strategy.

Annick Fron has been working with objects for more than 8 years, with degrees in Ecole Polytechnique from Paris and Ecole Nationale Superieure des Telecommunications. She is a free-lance consultant in object design and deployment for companies such as Societe Generale (France), Ascom (Switzerland), in many domain areas. She wrote a report on object components (CORBA, Active X) for the French Ministry of Research in 1996, and is teaching object components in several training sessions in France.
