“…Syntactic subtyping can be automated whereas semantic subtyping needs support by the user and can thereby carried out only computer-aided or manuall. Related work on type management can be found in (Indulska et al 1994) and (Brookes et al 1995).…”

We present a trader design that is focussed on integrating already existing components. This design has been used for implementing or enhancing traders on CORBA and ANSA ware platforms. For CORBA we show, how this design can be used with special focus on type management. Interworking between autonomous distributed platforms requires a contract to be established. Therefore we have developed a new negotiation protocol based on policies, contracts and trader links. Besides establishing federation contracts, gateway objects have to be introduced to enable interworking distributed platforms. Server proxies, group proxies and interceptors are possible ways to realize gateway objects.

“…Brookes and Yang (1995) studied differences in the type systems of various distributed platforms that inhibit interoperability between distributed domains, comparing type systems that differ in both syntax and semantics, and including RM-ODP-based system, ANSAware, DCE, CORBA as well as Liskov and Wing's work (Liskov and Wing, 1993) and America's work (America, 1991) on type systems in object-oriented applications. The difficulty addressed arises when applications from different domains with different type models must interwork when selection and matching of resource types can cross platform boundaries.…”

Large software systems are never static. They exist in an environment that is subject to constant changes in both functionality and technology. This is particularly a problem for large-scale distributed systems, where different components may be subject to different, divergent, pressures. This paper describes work carried out on an RM-ODP-based model for evolution of distributed application services under such conditions. It examines problems that may occur when services evolve to their new versions without corresponding evolution in their clients and presents a mechanism to preserve such old services as are still needed. The model uses the idea of 'mapping' to provide the impression of old services using their new versions. A prototype of the model has been implemented on the ANSAware platform, giving an example of how the model can be applied in a working distributed environment.
