: I'd love to provide a status but I'm neither a member of the OMG nor do I work with CORBA at the moment (I did at my last job last month :-) What would you like the format to be? i.e. links to "current projects"? White papers? Conference references? New standards in process? [[User:Seaneparker|Seaneparker]] ([[User talk:Seaneparker|talk]]) 00:38, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
* CORBA is very much alive. There are many ongoing CORBA related specifications being created - especially where quality of service
issues are important. Btw, do not believe any one talking about the rise and fall of CORBA, most such talks are led by those who are trying to create new specifications created by a handful of very bright distributed computing scientists. As such such references in this wikipedia should be deleted as they are a partial view. CORBA is an essential part of mission critical telecom networks, some of the most popular GUIs (GNOME), many many distributed computing platforms like J2EE actually use CORBA (IIOP) in their core. Several IPTV projects require a core infrastructure powered by CORBA. To summarize, CORBA is the most successful distributed computing standard ever created. It powers many of today's software applications. There many not be too many changes in core CORBA (it is a mature standard now) however OMG is actively working on new specs. When you play a distributed mobile game, you may not know who powers it (like CORBA), does not mean it is not there :-)
