+This directory contains various XML descriptors and configuration
+files required to run benchmarking experiments using CIAO in
+different ways.  Let's go over a few important files first:
+
+test.dat:
+---------
+
+  This file describes the deployment daemons CIAO's Assembly_Manager
+  will contact to instantiate ComponentServer's, home's, and component
+  instances.  Each line specify the name of a installation
+  "destination" (I used this to specify <processcollocation>
+  destination in various *.cad files) and the corresponding IOR for
+  the CIAO_Daemon.  The first entry is the "default" destination the
+  deployment framework will use.
+
+  For example, test.dat now contains:
+
+      Default corbaloc:iiop:localhost:10000/ServerActivator
+      Remote  corbaloc:iiop:localhost:12000/ServerActivator
+
+  You can copy and modify the copy to deploy the components in various
+  different locations to let the application truely "distributed".
+  For example, changing the remote ServerActivator to:
+    corbaloc:iiop:deuce.doc.wustl.edu:13000/ServerActivator
+
+  Remember to start up the Assembly_Manager in Step 2 using the
+  revised "test.dat" you created, and start up the CIAO_Daemon's in
+  Step 1 according to the specification.
+
+*.cad:
+------
+
+  These files specify how an application should be composed.  The
+  specification includes, where to install a component, what
+  implementation to use, and how to connect components together.
+  Currently, we have:
+
+  Benchmark.cad: Plain vanilla assembly descriptor.  This file installs
+                 the RoundTrip component on the location given in test.dat.
+  RoundTripClient.cad : A descriptor file for the client component
+                        RoundTripClient that uses the interface provided by
+                        RoundTrip. 
+  Test-IOR.cad: This cad file should be used to for testing a CORBA server
+                with a CIAO client. The IOR of the server should added in
+                this file. 
+
+There are automated perl scripts that can run the tests to generate the
+required results. These are located in the individual component directories
+Round Trip and RoundTripClient. The descriptors directory has the required
+.cad files that specify the component configuration used in the various
+experiments.
+
+To run a simple CORBA component with a normal client: 
+  cd descriptors;
+  ../Roundtrip/run_test.pl
+
+  cd descritors;
+  ../RoundTripClient/run_test.pl
+  Script that runs two components one acts as a client and the other as the
+  server. Statistics are printed for RoundTrip latency jitter etc
+
+ cd descritors;
+ ../RoundTripClient/run_test_ior_cad.pl 
+ Script runs a CORBA server and a CIAO component that acts as a client. 
+ Similar statistics are printed.
