On the teaching side, the lab will support Internet based course development for Programming Languages, Software Engineering and Intelligent Agent courses. The tools that are going to be used are Jinni and the voice tools provided by Sun JDK 1.2.x package. An obvious workaround is to have the client pull commands from a static IP address holding server.
Fault tolerance is provided by ability to move and synchronize data over a ring of servers.
For the projects that's all the Java code which is needed. Currently this sends a query to a Jinni server and echoes back the answer. If this works well, we might consider later integrating Jinni itself as a servelet. Java3D Is now working on the UNT PC network.
