What services will be available in the MDA environment?
OMG members are well aware of the extensive services necessary to support distributed computing, both within an enterprise and among many over the Internet. In CORBA, OMG’s answer to this need was originally the CORBAservices, already defined and available here. In the MDA, these have been renamed the Pervasive Services because a single implementation of each, regardless of the platform on which it runs, can service every application or client that needs its capabilities via MDA-generated cross-platform bridges. Enterprises struggling to maintain and synchronize large directory services replicated on multiple platforms will surely appreciate the opportunity to trim down to a single instance!
