Within this paper we will describe the usage of a Distributed Processing Environment based on CORBA 2 with respect to distribution transparencies. We will sketch a multimedia telecommunication service (T-MMCS) based on TINA-C concepts and our experience using CORBA 2 implementations (Orbix and HPDST) as DPE for this application.
At the moment the CORBA Scene is changing very rapidly. New products are coming up and interoperability between products is increasing due to corrections in the implementations. More and more CORBA Services are supported. The CORBA Standards are also extended and more services are defined. This changes will also happen in the time between submitting this paper and the time it will be presented to the conference audience. Therefore we will present the newest developments that took place and our newest experiences on the conference.
