what is CORBA

[COKOL]

CORBA is the acronym for Common Object Request Broker Architecture - an open, vendor-independent architecture and infrastructure that computer applications use to work together over networks.

Using the standard protocol IIOP, a CORBA-based program from any vendor, on almost any computer, operating system, programming language, and network, can interoperate with a CORBA-based program from the same or another vendor, on almost any other computer, operating system, programming language, and network.
