Gaia Microserver: An Extendable Mobile Middleware Platform1
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Gaia ubiquitous computing platform currently supports mobile devices through a thin client proxy architecture. Mobile devices run a lightweight proxy client written in J2ME to join an active space. While this approach allows a wide variety of devices to interact with active spaces, it lacks the ability to use device specific functionality. This problem is addressed by combining the J2ME client with a microserver, which is a bridge from the native language to J2ME. The microserver-proxy approach enables thin clients to fully access devicespecific features while respecting security through a standard interface as Gaia services.

متن کاملRemote Agent Management
This paper presents an approach for monitoring and control of mobile agents and active objects in a networked environment where objects and associated properties are highly dynamic and thus hard to control, maintain and debug. We propose Web-based access to collections of active objects and introduce the concepts of accesspoint and microserver. An accesspoint is a handle to a collection of obje...

Ubiquitous Computing advocates the construction of massively distributed systems that help transform physical spaces into computationally active and intelligent environments. The design of systems and applications in these environments needs to take account of heterogeneous devices, mobile users and rapidly changing contexts. Most importantly, agents in ubiquitous and mobile environments need t...
متن کاملTriage: Balancing Energy Consumption and Quality of Service in a Tiered Microserver
The ease of deployment of wireless and mobile systems is pushing the network edge far from powered infrastructures. A primary challenge in building untethered systems is offering powerful aggregation points and gateways between heterogeneous end-points—a role traditionally played by powered servers. Microservers are battery-powered in-network nodes that play a number of roles: processing data f...
