Abstract
In today’s fast paced world, information and data changes far too rapidly. The capability to get updated information and news is an important and decisive factor in business and finance. With Internet’s popularity, more and more people are getting their news from the Internet instead of from hardcopy newspapers. In the near future, most personal digital assistant (PDA) and cellular phones will be Internet-enabled. In the coming 21 century, it will be trivial to read news from portable devices while travelling to work! It is predictable that demand for news will no longer be only once or twice a day but immediate – the minute after the event occurred. This paper describes a ”true” push model to deliver news using the Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA). Our model supports instant and dynamic news delivery. A generalised design pattern of our model is also presented that is applicable to other applications that also require this form of real-time information delivery.
