Jini for Ubiquitous Devices

Reaching out to the Cell Phone with Jini

Jini has made considerable inroads as an enterprise computing platform, but it hasn't fulfilled its promise as an ubiquitous computing platform for thin-clients. A roadblock has been that full participation in a Jini community requires devices to support a fully capable Java virtual machine, something that is a challenge for mobile devices (e.g., cellphones). The Jini Surrogate specification ai...

LegORB and Ubiquitous CORBA

The increasing popularity of ubiquitous computing and the new approaches for low-consumption, shortrange wireless connectivity will enable a future with hundreds of heterogeneous devices interconnected to achieve a common task. However, communication among those network enabled heterogeneous devices requires standard protocols and well defined interfaces. While existing middleware architectures...

JCOMSS: Manuscript preparation: GUIDELINES

The evolution of software architecture, including operating systems and applications, spans from batch systems on big iron to today’s hand-held devices, and is now reaching into ubiquitous computing objects as evident in efforts such as JINI and Bluetooth. In digital telecommunication, the origins came from PCM and Ethernet, via OSI’s X.25 to fast packet-switching realized in Frame Relay and AT...

Mini: A Minimal Platform Comparable to Jini for Ubiquitous Computing

Jini Supporting Ubiquitous and Pervasive Computing

The overall purpose of this article is partly to give a brief overview of the TangO conceptual model, partly to explore the Jini technology as a means for support of pervasive systems in general and the TangO conceptual model in particular, and to emphasize the advantages and weaknesses of the Jini technology for ubiquitous computing. We will validate our survey of the Jini Technology against t...
