This paper describes the functions and implementation technology of Op
enDIOSA which enables high performance and high reliability for large-
scale distributed systems. The reusability which is a feature of the o
bject-oriented technology makes it possible to follow the recent rapid
progress of the IT (Information Technology) environment. OpenDIOSA ha
s provided a parallel execution environment for distributed object bas
ed on CORBA architecture by multi-process control, and also implements
the Transaction Service (context management and failure recovery cont
rol) based on CORBAservices and DIOSA specific functions.
