The Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) [1] is a set of speci® cations by the Object Management Group (OMG) that de® nes inter-operability of objects written in different languages and executing on different operating systems. Object Request Broker (ORB) un-manageability has tended to restrict deployments of enterprise CORBA-based applications [2]. This article reports on the results of the European Strategic Program in Research and Development of Information Technology (ESPRIT) Management Services for Object Oriented Distributed Systems (MAScOTTE) project [3]. MAScOTTE developed an architecture and facilities for management of multiple vendor ORBs and CORBA applications. To support vertically integrated enterprise network, system, and CORBA application management, the MAScOTTE CORBA management facilities are easily integrated with network and system management applications via a Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) or a Common Management Information Protocol (CMIP) gateway. The MAScOTTE management facilities and a CMIP gateway have been implemented and veri® ed in a video-on-dem and application.
