Abstract
CORBA is becoming the most important middle-ware that supports object-oriented and client/server paradigm in distributed computing systems. However the application systems based on CORBA are still scarce up to date. One main reason is that only few CORBA object services have been developed. Without added helping mechanisms, to have a new CORBA application, a programmer should make efforts to design a program with CORBA interface from scratch. In our previous work, a re-engineering approach was proposed to convert RPC-based programs to CORBA objects, which has successfully speed up the development of CORBA applications. However the source code is required in this approach. In many cases, software designers may not get hold of the source code, it will be significant to adapt existing PC software applications, particularly for Windows applications, in binary code mode to the object services under CORBA. Our study is addressing this problem. A graphic factory temperature monitor system, which integrates MS-Excel under MS-Windows has been implemented to demonstrate the feasibility of our approach.
