Abstract:
One of the major goals of the Viewpoint framework is to allow for heterogeneous
and distributed implementation of viewpoint-based tools. This poses a number
of challenges on the integration of tools into a viewpoint-based environment.
We review different infrastructures that could be deployed for tool integration
and argue that the OMG/CORBA architecture provides the best support for
achieving heterogeneity and distribution. We then discuss how viewpoint-based
tools can be integrated on the basis of CORBA. This involves the integration
of different viewpoint representations as well as their presentation at
user interfaces.
