The framework we have is a very flexible CORBA 3 tier arch; clients, server +
backend.  Now there are several options as to where the server and the backend
reside.

For my home machine (dial up access to the net) I'd run the CORBA server on the
same machine as the client and have the backend (for example cvs) run on a
remote machine.

While at work, I'd expect the company to have a central super-server which
exposes the CORBA server interface to the LAN.

Most of them (us) do not have the time/money to learn a modeling process or are
using another process instead (like XP vs. RUP). A modeling process will evolve
over time (from chaotic to ...) and someone (like ESR) will write an article
about it, but that's it.

I use a modified version of JFDI, JFDI(WIHTT).
