In recent days, CORBA has fast become a standard for the development of
distributed applications. A CORBA application may consist of one or more
CORBA server objects and many clients who connect to these servers. A CORBA
server object makes itself available to the client by registering with the
CORBA Naming Service or a CORBA Trader Service. A client locates the desired
server object on the network by using this Naming or Trader service. Once the
server object is located, the client receives a reference to it. Using this
reference, the client can invoke methods on the server object and carry out
its desired work. Thus it's the client that usually makes use of server
facilities; the server simply returns the results of method invocations to
the client. However, in some s... (more)
In today's world of network computers our important documents are usually
widely dispersed on several computers in our networks. Over a period of time,
we forget their location and searching for these files on a huge network
turns out to be a frustrating experience. Such searches are typically not
only time-consuming, but also consume valuable and scarce network resources.

The matrix is an indispensable tool for engineers and mathematicians.
Matrices are used in many engineering applications for solving linear
equations, differential equations of n-order, and so on.
Mathematicians have developed matrix arithmetic to help engineers in solving
their engineering problems. It is generally very easy to understand and
perform. However, due to the mere size of the ... (more)
With the rapid growth of the Internet, distributed Web-enabled applications
are becoming popular. One of the most commonly used architectures for
development of such applications is CORBA, which provides a platform,
location and an implementation-language-neutral architecture for the
development of distributed applications. In addition, the phenomenal interest
in component technology has... (more)
