The example application used in this tutorial is a + Stock Quoter that consists of two components; the + <em>StockDistributor</em> and the <em>StockBroker</em>. The + <em>StockDistributor</em> notifies one or more stock brokers + whenever a stock price changes. Upon receiving the notification, + the <em>StockBroker</em> fetches information about a particular + stock from the <em>StockDistributor</em>. 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.
