The example application used in this tutorial is a +Stock Quoter that consists of two components; the <span + style="font-style: italic;">StockDistributor</span> +and the <span style="font-style: italic;">StockBroker</span>. The <span + style="font-style: italic;">StockDistributor</span> +notifies one or more stock brokers whenever a stock price changes. Upon +receiving the notification, the <span style="font-style: italic;">StockBroker</span> +fetches information about a particular stock from the <span + style="font-style: italic;">StockDistributor</span>. The figure bellow +shows the application diagram. +This Stock Quoter application +is based on a series of <a + href="http://www.cs.wustl.edu/%7Eschmidt/report-doc.html">CORBA +component model</a> columns written by <a + href="http://www.cs.wustl.edu/%7Eschmidt/">Doug Schmidt</a> and <a + href="http://www.iona.com/hyplan/vinoski/">Steve Vinoski</a> for <a + href="http://www.cuj.com">C/C++ Users Journal</a> and has consistently +been +used as an example for <a + href="http://www.cs.wustl.edu/%7Eschmidt/TAO.html">TAO</a>.<br> +</p> +<div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" src="Images/fig1.jpg" + style="width: 362px; height: 193px;"><br> +<br> +Stock Quoter application Diagram <br> +</div> +<p>This tutorial will show you how to use generic modeling techniques <a + href="http://www.dre.vanderbilt.edu/cosmic/">CoSMIC</a> to assist the +development process of CIAO applications.

Although the descriptor files generated by CoSMIC toolkits are +portable, the modeling environment required by CoSMIC (GME) only +supports MS Windows platforms currently.

The current tutorial is tested under GME 5.9.21, and CosMIC +0.4.8.
