The relationship between the Portable Common Tool Environment (PCTE) and the Object Management Group’s Object Management Architecture (OMA) including the Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) specification can be viewed as a complementary one. The PCTE specification addresses the area of large to medium grain data integration for distributed Computer Aided Software Engineering environments. OMA is a set of specifications designed to promote interoperability between independently developed applications across distributed possibly heterogeneous environments based on the object oriented paradigm. CORBA is the communications heart of OMA. implicitly defining "distributed and secure execution and interprocess communication services". The current PCTE standard is largely object oriented. However it is not fully object oriented because it does not define behaviour for PCTE objects. By using OMA to provide object behaviour for PCTE objects as well as making them fully object oriented greater control integration between PCTE objects could also be achieved. PCTE’s Object Management System has a rich data modelling mechanism because it was designed to integrate complex data and relationships, therefore being suitable for use as a persistent store for OMA objects. Thu.s the convergence of PCTE and OMA into a single standard is attractive; work is currently underway on this by the OMG PCTE Special Interest Group. However it will be sometime before a specification converging PCTE and CORBA is available. The purpose of this thesis is to find an interim integration strategy which can be used while waiting for their eventual convergence, since both specifications have much to offer each other. This thesis discusses the language mapping of DDL to DDL (and vice versa) and the definition of IDL interfaces for PCTE tools as strategies for the interim integration of PCTE and CORBA.
