Microsoft expands on datacenter plans. Dynamic Systems Initiative to ease deployment, management [InfoWorld: Top News]

Microsoft has developed a specification it calls the System Definition Model, which is an XML-based blueprint for building functionality into applications that will allow them to describe their own operational requirements. If an application can describe its own deployment, resource and security requirements, it can be more easily and flexibly managed, O'Brien said.

This whole thing is more about an architecture than just some enhancements in Windows. The approach really centers on application architecture. Microsoft is really focused on changing the development paradigm, on getting developers to focus on applications being operationally-aware, from design to deployment. It's a cool concept, and it's not something IBM or Sun and HP are talking about," he said. "But it's going to take three to five years."

Una libreria que implementa IIOP usando .Net Remoting?

Cool !

"I have developed a .NET library, called "Remoting.Corba" that integrates
IIOP support into the .NET Remoting framework.  This allows .NET programmers
to access CORBA servers in much the same way that they access SOAP web
services and other protocols supported by .NET.

For information and downloads, see

http://kristopherjohnson.net/kj/RemotingDotCorba

The library itself is implemented entirely in C#.  There are
interoperability tests included with the package, using TAO-based CORBA
servers.
Source code is included, with an open-source license.  If there is
sufficient interest, I'll probably put this stuff on SourceForge.
