Sun's Jini Technology Drafted for Service in the U.S. Army Designing and maintaining a mobile command post so that it functions under sometimes-chaotic battlefield conditions is a unique challenge. The Jini technology configuration that evolved to meet the Army's needs includes the Jini service infrastructure, which allows the abstracting of traditional computing devices as Java service objects, making interoperability easier. Jini technology appears to offer a solution for the Army s complex network linking and mobile command post operations. Dr. David Usechak Army Program Executive Office and C3S Project Manager for Common Software. A highly flexible configuration allows services to run on unplanned hardware and achieve high levels of interoperability.
System administration is less complicated because of little or no a priori configuration.
The experiment demonstrates that the Jini technology implementation for the U.S. Army provides ROI results that include increased TOC mobility, reduced system administration costs, and faster decision making, as well as a reduction in time and money spent for development. Sun believes that Jini technology can do the same for your organization. You'd select a convenient time and the appointment would be placed on your calendar. The company's goal is to link all devices to each other, as well as to the Internet. The ProSyst product family includes mBedded Server, a small footprint server for consumer network services, and mBedded Developer, a development tool for creating services for embedded systems.
