Objects and Interface for System Software Structure
Lecture by Michael Powell. This video was recorded September, 1992. In conversation with SunSoft Senior Staff Engineer Dwight Hare, Mike Powell discusses how object technology can be used to solve important problems in today's system software environments, including how it must be adapted and used carefully. He describes the Object Management Group's Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA), and shows how it addresses the issues of system software structure. He focuses on the Interface Definition Language (IDL) and architectural features that allow different implementations, and shows how CORBA provides the basis for communication between different object systems.
