Integration av Orbix och distributionen av objekt inom Ericsson Broadband System

Distributed-object computing is distributed computing where objects, instead of processes, are the components of distribution. The most important part of distributed-object computing is an Object Request Broker (ORB) which handles all the practical things of communication. The most influential standardspecification of ORBs is CORBA (Common Object Request Broker Architecture). In CORBA an Interface Definition Language (IDL-language) is included. In this language one writes interfaces to objects. In that way the user of the object does not have to know the implementation, only the interface. On the market there are several implementations of CORBA and one of these is Orbix. Within the work with Ericsson Broadband System (EBS) an IDL-language and a kind of an ORB have been developed. In this master's thesis presentation a theoretical description of the above will be made. A proposal of how to implement a dialogue, the one that is described in the EBS dialogue concept, between one object in EBS and one in Orbix, will also be presented. The implementation proposal is described by the included files and their assignment, however the necessary code will not be presented.
