It does this by working with the server to keep track of when it is -activated and stores information on how to reactivate it. Method -invocations on the server will actually be sent to the Implementation -Repository, which will then be able to start the server process if it is not -already running and forward the invocation to the real server. </p> - -<p>In the pages here (and in most of the documentation written for it), -Implementation Repository will often be shortened to ImplRepo or IR.</p> - -<hr> - -<h3>Resources</h3> -<p>The IR in TAO was first based on a paper on the subject by <a href="http://www.triodia.com/staff/michi-henning.html">Michi -Henning</a> called <a href="http://www.triodia.com/staff/michi/cacm.pdf">Binding, -Migration, and Scalability in CORBA</a>.
