Testing for Feasible Performance of a Distributed Manufacturing System: a Brief Experience Report
Published

Abstract
NIST researchers conducted a series of informal performance tests to establish confidence that an existing manufacturing process control system could successfully be replaced by a Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA)-based system. Relative to the application, it was found that performance was seriously impacted by platform configuration and operational issues, while the CORBA overhead as such was negligible.
