Abstract
Client/server computing can be recast into an object-oriented model in ways that greatly simplify application development. Here we focus on a key technology that had an unusually large influence on the emergence of the cloud: CORBA, a powerful object oriented standard that lives on within frameworks like the Java runtime environment or Microsoft’s .NET framework.

It should be noted, however, that the ENS lacks the sort of subject mapping facilities that are central to many publish-subscribe message-bus architectures, and is in this sense a more primitive facility than some of the message bus technologies that will be discussed later in this book, such as the TIBCO Information Bus (TIB).
