Standards for service discovery and delivery

For the past five years, competing industries and standards developers have been hotly pursuing automatic configuration, now coined the broader term service discovery. Jini, Universal Plug and Play (UPnP), Salutation, and Service Location Protocol are among the front-runners in this new race. However, choosing service discovery as the topic of the hour goes beyond the need for plug-and-play solutions or support for the SOHO (small office/home office) user. Service discovery's potential in mobile and pervasive computing environments motivated my choice.     

Enterprise computing with Jini technology

You may think of Jini technology from Sun Microsystems as software for networking embedded systems-machines that contain a microprocessor and do a specific task. But more specifically, Jini software gives network devices self-configuration and self-management capabilities; it lets devices communicate immediately on a network without human intervention. These networks are also self-healing in that devices that leave the network for any reason (machine crashes or power surges, for example) do not affect the remaining devices' operation. A Jini client that loses contact with a server can recover and continue processing. Although it is precisely these advantages that make Jini technology attractive for embedded systems, why stop there? Network plug-and-play capabilities and self-configuration are also attractive for enterprise computing. Java, for example, was initially designed for embedded devices. But that hasn't stopped it from becoming a major force in enterprise computing. Does Java drive your Web server or backend application? At many companies, it does-not a bad accomplishment for an embedded system language. We contend that Jini technology's true promise lies in enterprise computing because it has unique abilities that extend beyond plug-and-play network connectivity

A middleware‐transparent approach to developing distributed applications

An innovative middleware‐transparent approach to developing distributed applications is presented. The approach uses an aspect‐oriented software development technique to separate an application's middleware‐independent functionality from its middleware‐specific functionality. Application elements that are specific to the middleware are localized in aspects that can be seamlessly integrated into middleware‐independent application designs. The middleware‐transparent approach is used to decouple business functionality from middleware‐specific functionality. The decoupling allows developers to change middleware application elements without significantly modifying business functionality. Middleware technologies such as Java Remote Method Invocation (RMI), Jini, Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) remote procedure call (RPC) and .Net are used as examples to illustrate the approach.
