Top Graph'X is proud to provide customers with an excellent and responsive support.

Any particular need that is not covered by our standard conditions can be covered by a specific extension.

We may also help you with our experience and our in-house tools in:

migrating existing applications from C/C++ to Ada
replacing use of a binding to X11/Xm C libraries by XInAda
providing assistance in your developments

Some of our customers also appreciate that we write their own dedicated widgets that exactly suit their needs!

Top Graph'X provides trainings and tutorials by highly specialized speakers.

Training program

Top Graph'X offers a very effective set of trainig options to aid developers in their efforts to become accomplished
CORBA developers. A one day Tutorial is available, as well as a more in-depth 3-5 day hands-on class.

CORBA 3 and CORBA for Embedded Systems

A 1 day Tutorial

The morning session provides an overview of CORBA 3 with emphasis on changes from CORBA 2.
The attendee need have no prior knowledge of CORBA. The session will include a brief introduction to Distributed
Computing, in general. The morning session and about half the afternoon session will include discussions of the CORBA
Principles, Interface Definition Language (IDL), Client Programs, Object (server) programs, the Portable Object Adaptor
(POA), Event Service and the General Inter-ORB Protocol (GIOP).

The afternoon session will end with a discussion of more advanced features of CORBA 3, including CORBA Messaging,
minimumCORBA and Real Time CORBA. These topics will be of particular interest to those who might wish to use CORBA
for Embedded Systems. It will begin with a brief introduction to Embedded Systems, including fundamentals of Concurrent
and Real Time systems, and of Computer Networks. All examples for the tutorial will be based on the highly successful
Top Graph'X product, OrbAda, and the Ada95 programming language.

A Hands-on Class

This 3-5 day class begins by covering the basics of CORBA 3, but assumes no previous familiarity with CORBA. It then proceeds
to cover enchancements to CORBA 3 (minimumCORBA, CORBA Messaging, Real Time CORBA) that render CORBA situable
for Embedded Systems, in a context with considerable hands-on exercises and laboratory experiences. The basic lecture material
includes that covered by the Tutorial, described above.
The course may be customized to suit customer background and interests. It may be shortened if less introductory material is
necessary, or made longer for more in-depth coverage of customer-specific material.

The Instructor

S. Ron Oliver has been in the Software Industry since 1968, with a roughly equal mixture of industrial and academic experience.
Since 1974 he has specialized in Concurrent and Real Time Software Engineering, including Computer Communication (Network)
Systems Engineering, and animated Concurrent and Real TimeSimulations. During 9 years with the Computer Science and
Computer Engineering programs at Cal Poly he lead many research and student projects in Object Oriented Design and
Implementation for Concurrent and Real Time Systems, and in the Distributed Computing Environment (DCE).
Considerable work was done with projects to simulate Computer Networks and to develop Real Time graphically animated
simulations. Dr. Oliver took early retirement from Cal Poly to return to Colorado and work on methods to improve Software Quality.
Most recently he has been focusing on CORBA technology. Dr. Oliver has an excellent reputation for Industrial Training as well
as University Education.
