To take AMI (Asynchronous Message Invocation) into consideration sounds
like a good idea because it represents the standard way of asynchronous
messaging in CORBA, which will be "officially" introduced by CORBA 2.4
around the end of the year.

Asynchronous Messaging spec           :
http://www.omg.org/cgi-bin/doc?orbos/98-05-05
Messaging 1.2 RTF final report        :
http://www.omg.org/cgi-bin/doc?ptc/2000-01-01
Messaging 1.3 RTF Part 1 Final Report :
http://cgi.omg.org/cgi-bin/doc?ptc/00-07-01

I think TAO has an implementation of AMI already working !
