There are basically two possibilities for the integration of CORBA as a new
management architecture into an existing management platform: The
first approach makes use of the platform's communication interfaces by
integrating a new protocol into the protocol stack. The second
consists of establishing IDL ``wrappers'' around the interfaces of the
platform services so that the whole platform appears as a set of
CORBA objects. We will discuss each approach in turn.
