 Distributed object computing: The brave new world - ADTmag.com
Conceptually, the notion of a business object is the Rosetta stone of business computing -- it's the first time that the same concept can be used to both describe a piece of the business and an executing piece of the information system that supports that piece of the business.
In the new approach, the output of business modeling is a set of high-level business components, which can then be configured to run directly as distributed objects on an enterprise ORB.
Together, these new standards, both due out by the end of this year, will form the backbone of both design-time and runtime support for frameworks of distributed business objects, including those based on the domain standards defined earlier.
