Abstract
The paper provides an overview of the basic concepts of OMG CORBA. It summarizes the main ideas behind the OMG Reference Model Architecture and the components it defines. Particular attention is paid to the Object Request Broker and Object Services. An evolving example is used to illustrate the CORBA philosophy. The authors draw on their long-term practical experience with CORBA, particularly with implementing the Persistent Object Service [KPT96].
