What are your options? Minimal CORBA: Throw out some of the heavyweight CORBA mechanisms (~ 30-60 KB) IIOP Engine: Use a library that keeps only the IIOP protocol part (~ 15 KB) CORBA Gateways: TCP bridge from the embedded processors to a CORBA gateway that talks to the rest of the world Quizzes Lab Projects Topics Covered More Food For Thought The key to embedded systems of the future: Productive programming environment and tools Small compact size Neat ideas (using wireless networks like BlueTooth?) From within your car How would you like to change the world? The professor’s research group does all system software aspects of Real-Time Linux, Real-Time Java, Networking, Wireless Networks, Mul
