  3. Organization of the Course • Lectures: T3-5 (ELB LT2) • Tutorial: T9 (SC L3) Th4 (MMW 703) • Projects • Homework • Late Midterm, Final

  4. Nature of the Course • This is a practical lecture with hands-on experience! • Involves C++/Java (your choice) Programming. Application Objects CORBAfacilities Object Request Broker CORBAservices

  5. What You Will Learn • Problems that occur during construction of distributed systems. • Principles and techniques to solve them. • Components of an infrastructure for distributed systems (OMG/CORBA). • Practical experience with an OMG/CORBA implementation.
