Introduction
This documentation describes the Open
Telecom Platform (Erlang/OTP), a middle-ware based on the Erlang
programming language, aiming at providing time-saving and flexible
development for robust, adaptable telecom systems.

About this Book
This book contains documentation about the six applications in Erlang/OTP that
implement the CORBA standard.
These applications are:
-
IC, a compiler for OMG Interface Definition
Language (IDL).
The OMG IDL is used for
language-independent interface specifications.
The compiler
is capable of producing;
- Erlang stub/skeleton code for CORBA (default behavior)
- Erlang stub/skeleton code for OTP generic servers
- C stub/skeleton code for OTP generic servers
- Java stub/skeleton code for OTP generic servers
- Erlang code for module interfaces
- Orber, which is an Object Request Broker that can be
used for
accessing distributed services in an
soft real-time environment. It is especially useful for applications
that use a heterogeneous
language environments.
