New Processes Initiated
The following processes are now open for comment and participation. Non-members may download information on any Request process from http://www.omg.org/public_schedule. For more information on any process, send an email to [email protected].
Asynchronous Method Invocation for CORBA Component Model (AMI4CCM) RFP
CORBA Component Model (CCM) currently only supports synchronous two-way or asynchronous one-way invocations. For many applications there is a need for asynchronous two-way invocations. This RFP searches for proposals that make it possible to make AMI calls from CCM components in a standardized way.
IDL to C++0x Language Mapping RFP
The C++ community has tentatively adopted a new draft ISO C++ standard, unofficially named C++0x. This new C++ standard adds several features to the C++ programming language, which should make it possible to create a modern mapping that is more robust and easier to use. This RFP solicits proposals for a totally new mapping for IDL to C++0x.
Data Distribution Service (DDS) Security RFP
DDS has experienced a record-breaking adoption within the Aerospace and Defense domains, and is swiftly expanding into new domains such as Transportation, Financial Services, Telecommunications, and SCADA. Many of these systems control critical functions or transmit sensitive information, which must be protected. The objective of this RFP is to define the set of Extensions to DDS required to provide Information Assurance for systems built using DDS.
Using Problem-Specific Views for Information Federation RFI
The objective of this RFI is to solicit opinions from industry and academic institutions on specific issues that relate to the federation of information via the mechanism of the problem or context-specific views.
