Spontaneous Networking with CORBA, Jini & JavaCards in RoamX, a Mobile X-Desktop
نویسندگان
چکیده
RoamX provides support for the user-controlled management of a distributed X desktop, potentially spanning multiple administrative domains. Instead of terminating X-based applications and restarting them manually elsewhere, applications can be suspended and restored selectively on different machines while preserving their context and state. The migration of the GUI is accomplished by an extended version of xmove, a pseudoserver for X window movement, developed originally by Ethan Solomita, James Kempf and Dan Duchamp at the University of Columbia [1]. RoamX applies CORBA, Jini and JavaCards together in its infrastructure, three sophisticated, supplementary, but rather distinct technologies. This paper describes the implementation, deployment, and experiences gained throughout the development of RoamX.

From Distributed Systems to Ubiquitous Computing – The State of the Art, Trends, and Prospects of Future Networked Systems
We summarize trends in communication paradigms for networked systems, mention wellestablished as well as innovative software infrastructures for distributed systems (such as COM+, CORBA, .NET and Jini), and give an overview of application domains such as grid computing, peer-topeer computing, and mobile agents. We then discuss issues in spontaneous networking, and we explain the vision of Ubiqu...

Configuration of network services is a difficult problem requiring considerable human involvement. Recently, the hardware configuration of a personal computer has been simplified by the Plug and Play specification and the addition of the universal serial bus. Also recent developments in the CORBA framework, the Java language, mobile agent facilities, and Jini, have provided new tools that facil...
متن کاملDistributed computing for plug-and-play network service configuration
Configuration of network services is a difficult problem requiring considerable human involvement. As the peripheral configuration of PCs has been made easier through plug-andplay hardware, service configuration can be facilitated by defining PnP services for networks. Moreover, the recent developments in the area of distributed computing technologies, such as CORBA, Mobile Agents, and Jini, an...
