Abstract
Future nomadic communication will be enabled by huge TINA-like systems with millions of computational objects in it interacting with each other for the purposes of service provision and mobility management. In a very high degree, the nomadic customer will stay within a mobile cellular network and thus, will be connected to the fixed network part over a wireless link. However, up to now distributed platforms do not provide for any way at all to perform a binding to computational objects arranged in mobile devices.
This paper presents an approach for realising CORBA-compliant wireless distributed systems that can be embedded in mobile cellular networks like today’s GSM or the future UMTS. The aspects of terminal mobility are hidden from the objects, and the existing infrastructure of these systems can be integrated without making any modifications.
