Setting the record straight :-) • Why is it all those CIO’s are saying “we’re using CORBA” ? • Because they are • every enterprise-wide distributed heterogeneous system • Forrester says they prefer it 2:1
Everybody wants “integration” • A consistent message yesterday was integration of • legacy • new technologies • glue code with less than n2 costs • Today’s hot technology is tomorrow’s legacy and I mean tomorrow (“integrating today’s silver bullet tomorrow”)

Everybody needs standards • Vendors can amortize development costs over large number of customers • Users can amortize development costs over large number of applications • Lowers development risk for both vendors & users • Creates market for differentiation based on product dimensions that matter to customers
Standards get set how? • De facto standardization by market leader • theoretically more consistent • De jure standardization by committee • time to market too high • Consortium standardization by industry consensus • somewhere between the two
Finding the right point De facto De jure Consensus, open specifications with no reference implementation
Specification Availability 1. OMG adopts & publishes interfaces. 2. Interfaces must be commercially available. 3. Interfaces freely available to members and non-members alike. 4. Interfaces chosen from existing products in competitive selection process.
