This paper presents an efficient solution for the nomadic CORBA server problem. The generic CORBA proxy platform Π2 provides efficient and transparent nomadic access to existing applications by offering a hand-over between different network types, optimized transport protocols for the wireless access, and application-specific compression. Up to now, Π2 was missing nomadic server functions. FATI...
