Abstract

The Commom Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) is an important and open standard for distributed objects. CORBA uses objects as a unifying metaphor for brings existing applications to the bus. At the same time, it provides a solid foundation for a component-based future. The 2-D plotting utility directly visualizes mathematical functions for remote users over Internet. It provides a complete and friendly graphical user interface for remote client sites, and a reliable, portable and extensible parser/evaluator on a server site. This 2-D plotting utility is designed basing on client/server model. It is implemented and deployed using CORBA technology. This report demonstrates that CORBA's language, location, and platform independence provides a strong base towards its use in wrapping the legacy applications.
