What is CORBA?

I just get started to learn more about this architecture. CORBA (Common Object Request Broker Architecture) is a new paradigm of interfacing clients to server(s). I just google it and found out there are many different packages for this, from commercieal packages such as Visibroker to open source ones.

Check this http://orbit-resource.sourceforge.net/ as one of them. It has many links related to ORB.
