CORBA Universal Client and Consumer Tool

UCC is a patent pending software application developed by the Naval Undersea Warfare Center for use in integration of combat systems for all classes of submarines. The UCC allows for the verification of server and producer interactions as well as inspection of the data being provided. The UCC is composed of two main components, the CORBA Control and the GUI Control Display. The UCC CORBA Control is the engine which makes the actual connections to the CORBA Servers and Producers (Event Channels) in the system. It manages those connections and keeps statistics and information on those connections for the user. The UCC Display provides a GUI for the control and status displays, and the data displays. The UCC CORBA Control and UCC Display can run on the same machines or different machines. Key Advantages Interactive visual CORBA interface Low level verification, debugging, and server/producer status logging for system integration and interface development Provides developers with Unit Test Client to reduce software test time and development Key Features Visual display of all CORBA methods and data Text recording for all methods and data for off-line viewing Drag and Drop of method parameters and return values The US Navy seeks industrial partners to commercialize a visualization tool that allows the user to interact with and obtain any data from a CORBA Server or CORBA Supplier/Event Channel . The Universal Client and Consumer (UCC) tool allows a user to visually display and interact with CORBA compliant applications. The UCC tool is currently being used by the United State Navy. UCC is patent pending and is available for licensing from the Naval Undersea Warfare Center. The software can be easily demonstrated. Collaborative R&D; with the Navy is a possibility.
