Modeling deployment and configuration of CORBA systems with UML

摘要

An area of COREA-based distributed systems which has been difficult to design and document is that of deployment of server components and configuration information. This poster shows by way of health-care system how UML Deployment Diagrams can be used to model configuration in a system based on Iona Technologies' Orbix. Using the UML models we compare several different centralized and distributed approaches. We conclude by examining how extensions made to UML in recent revisions enhance the utility of our approach.
