A CORBA-Oriented Approach to Heterogeneous Tool Integration; OPHELIA
Pauline Wilcox · 2003
In this paper, we describe an approach to integrating heterogeneous software engineering tool sets using CORBA. The framework we have developed to bring about the integration is called OPHELIA and we report on an instantiation of that framework and how we have been able to create added-value service on top of our core architecture. These services, such as event driven metrics, are brought about by our success in being able to expose the different genres of software engineering data artefacts. Using these exposed artefacts, we can build relationships between them, users and other applications- so called traceability relationships.
