CORBA vs. Distributed Systems Annex?

CORBA vs. Distributed Systems Annex?

[Brian Catlin]

Is there a brief description of the differences between CORBA and DSA?  I don't
know much about either, and I'm looking for a starting point in deciding which
to use

In a nutshell:
DSA is for one (Ada) program, whose execution is distributed over several machines (aka partitions).
CORBA is for several, possibly heterogenous, programs communicating together.

You can get an article called "CORBA & DSA: divorce or marriage?" from
Laurent Pautet, Thomas Quinot and myself published in Ada Europe '99 on

At the SIGAda'99 conference, there were a number of sessions on the
subject. See http://www.acm.org/sigada/conf/sigada99/Sessions.html
