Abstract :
Presents a design and development method for distributed applications running on top of advanced object-oriented middleware platforms. We introduce the basic concept of the distinction between a set of concepts and their relations, the definition of a notation supporting such concepts and rules for automatic code generation that help to provide a smooth transition from the design step to the implementation stage. Although the set of concepts is based on RM-ODP (Reference Model for Open Distributed Processing), we refine a number of ODP definitions in order to reflect practical design tasks. The supporting notation we present rests upon the customization of the Unified Modeling Language (UML). Automatic code generation issues are presented briefly, taking a extended CORBA 2.3 object middleware as the target distributed infrastructure
