Phenomenological Model for Distributed Systems Software Tools |

Phenomenological Object Model Runtime Components The POM Runtime Components are the executable programs that run in each node to organize and implement the distributed system. The POM Runtime Components are specified for a particular hardware platform. The POM Runtime Components consist of the Phenomenological Object Request Broker (PORB) and the Object Repository. The PORB
Phenomenological Interface Definition Language PIDL is a high-level language used to describe an object. A PIDL file defines and describes the interface channels (physical, protocol, stream, etc) that the object supports. The PIDL file also describes the methods and data available on an object. And finally the PIDL file maps between the two, so it defines what methods and data are available through which channels. See the documents page for the PIDL language specification document. See the code examples page for examples of PIDL files and generated output. Phenomenological Interface Definition Language Compiler The PIDL Compiler is a software tool that takes as input a PIDL file and generates C code that can be used to implement that object. The implemented object can then be compiled and included in the Object Repository and accessed by the PORB. The PIDL Compiler also generates code for a client object or standalone client to communicate with the objects on a node. See the hardware page for info on supported platforms. See the code examples page for examples of PIDL files and generated output. |
