  • Beschreibung: <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>Traditional tracing mechanisms, usually developed for use in a single‐computer environment, are bound to a specific programming language. Today's highly distributed and heterogeneous computing environments require new tracing methodologies. This paper addresses the problem by reviewing ways in which the middleware might—and should—support tracing. In particular, CORBA (Common Object Request Broker Architecture) meta‐objects that can be applied for tracing are studied. One meta‐object, namely the <jats:italic>interceptor</jats:italic> concept, is presented in more depth, followed by a detailed description of an interceptor‐based tracing architecture for CORBA applications. Implementation details and evaluation experience are given. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley &amp; Sons, Ltd.</jats:p>
