Internet Component Developer Buzzeo Announces Release Of CORBA Component Wizard At OOPSLA Conference.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 18, 2000 Buzzeo's CORBA (Common Object Request Broker Architecture) A software-based interface from the Object Management Group (OMG) that allows software modules (objects) to communicate with each other no matter where they are located on a private network or the global Component Wizard Simplifies E-Business Development Buzzeo, a leading builder of Web-based development tools and distributed applications built to run on the Internet, Wednesday announced that CORBA programming will get much simpler with the release of ZEO ZEO Zope Enterprise Objects ZEO Z Education Online (website) ZEO Zero Emissions Operation CORBA(R) Component Wizard (ZCCW). Buzzeo's new development tool automatically generates CORBA's complex IDL (1) (Interface Definition Language) A language used to describe the interface to a routine or function. For example, objects in the CORBA distributed object environment are defined by an IDL, which describes the services performed by the object and how the data (Interface Definition Language See IDL. Interface Definition Language - (IDL) 1. An OSF standard for defining RPC stubs. 2. Part of an effort by Project DOE at SunSoft, Inc. to integrate distributed object technology into the Solaris operating system. ) code after stepping developers through the specification of a CORBA component's interface. "Development of Internet-based applications for e-business is soaring," said Robert DeAnna, Buzzeo's vice president of ZEOLogic Architecture, "and more of those projects are using CORBA standards to ensure interoperability between a wide variety of operating platforms and the Web." DeAnna explained that Buzzeo's new CORBA wizard offers developers solutions to two of the major challenges they face. "Time-to-market is a critical issue in the development of Internet applications," DeAnna said, "and the skill set required by these developers is already incredibly high. Having to learn CORBA sets the bar even higher. Our CORBA Wizard helps developers meet these challenges: First, as does any good wizard, ZCCW decreases development time. Second, it hides the complexity of CORBA IDL programming by automatically generating the code required to build CORBA components." Buzzeo is introducing and demonstrating the ZEO CORBA Component Wizard at this year's OOPSLA OOPSLA - Conference on Object-oriented Programming Systems, Languages and Applications. Conference (Object-Oriented Programming object-oriented programming, a modular approach to computer program (software) design. Each module, or object, combines data and procedures (sequences of instructions) that act on the data; in traditional, or procedural, programming the data are separated from the , Systems, Languages, and Applications) at the Minneapolis Convention Center The Minneapolis Convention Center is a large convention center located in downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota. It is located one block off of Nicollet Mall near Orchestra Hall. , October 15 through 19. The ZEO CORBA Component Wizard will be available for download soon from Buzzeo's Web site, www.buzzeo.com.
