This tutorial aims to give a short, practical introduction to the The Object Management Group's Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA). It should provide a good understanding of the basic mechanics of the architecture, give a rough overview of its components and provide the reader with some vocabulary used in the OMG documents which are the most reliable resource of information about CORBA. At the end it also contains references to systems similar to CORBA, and some of the research connected with it.

For more information on CORBA take a look at the links to related sites at the end of this page. The newsgroup comp.object.corba provides a good discussion forum. If you have questions or comments about this tutorial, please send me mail .
