What is ColCOWS ???
ColCOWS ( Collective CORBA Object Workspace ) is a C++ library based on CORBA for the management of different groups of processes and the CORBA object references they host. Thanks to ColCOWS, a group of CORBA servers (nodes) can simply share their references to constitute a distributed "workspace". ColCOWS manages the creation of the workspaces, the activation, as well as the connection of different workspaces and the exchange of their references.
ColCOWS library has been developed in EPSN project for the computational steering of parallel distributed numerical simulations. It is also used for the deployment of the redistribution library RedGRID. ColCOWS is NEITHER an implementation of Parallel CORBA Objects (see PaCO++ ) NOR an implementation of the CORBA Component Model (see CCM, MicoCCM) .
