COTS Middleware

Commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS)  middleware is gaining acceptance in the distributed systems and real-time community. ASEG’s implementations of standard COTS middleware specifications, such as CORBA, define the interfaces and policies required for application interaction end-to-end. The expense of time, verification, and risk  of applications precludes developers from implementing home grown solutions.

 The ASEG staff has been designing and developing middleware-based solutions for over a decade.  We’ve worked on projects ranging from developing CORBA ORB and Common Object Services implementations, to designing and deploying large-scale component-based infrastructures that combine multiple middleware technologies.  Our expertise with COTS middleware products is a complete spectrum, from low-level distributed development and messaging tools – Iona Orbix, Sun Enterprise JavaBeans, TIBCO Rendezvous, IBM MQ – to complex application servers such as BEA WebLogic and IBM WebSphere.  More importantly, we integrate these diverse products and technologies in a unified strategy.  As a result, ASEG is uniquely positioned to help you maximize your middleware investment and integrate all the parts of your enterprise.
