Abstract
The object-oriented middleware standard, CORBA, is a very useful platform f or distributed computing, and in particular for sharing a workload among a collection of possibly polymorphic computers. CORBA has, however, received relatively little attention from the scientific computing community. In thi s article we demonstrate how CORBA and Java can be used to implement a dist ributed multi-dimensional Monte Carlo integration algorithm which runs on t he internet.
