Description
This paper is focused on how the features and object services provided by CORBA (Common Object Request Broker Architecture) can be applied to solve the specific needs of a modern telescope control system. The solutions presented in this paper are based on TAO, which is the ORB (Object Request Broker) implementation selected by the GTC Control Group, although any ORB implementing OMG's CORBA 2.3 standard could be used.
