ABSTRACT
This paper describes a generic coupling between the middleware FlowVR designed to develop modular VR applications for distributed architectures like PC clusters and VRPN which is a library that manages a large number of physical devices. This generic coupling takes the advantages of the FlowVR programming model to provide all the services offered by VRPN in FlowVR applications.

A retrospective on the design of the GOPI middleware platform
This paper offers a high-level retrospective overview of the GOPI middleware platform which is the outcome of a three-year project aimed at the development of generic, configurable and extensible middleware. GOPI has a clearly defined modular structure, ...
A framework for architecting and high-level programming support of CORBA applications
Special issue on middlewareIn this paper, we present a framework, called <i>OrbGOP</i>, to support the architecting and high-level programming of CORBA-based distributed applications. OrbGOP makes two contributions to the development of CORBA applications: (1) it provides higher-...
