Jini and Mobile Agents

The UCC group in the K2LAB research laboratory at DSV, Stockholm University we are looking at mobile agents for tying together work in a distributed environment. This has lead us to Java and Jini.

This page was rolled together to collect a number of resources for ourselves and for other interested parties.

Jini and Java Software at UCC

A number of Jini-based prototypes has been developed. These include an execution server (for mobile code), a locator service (for finding people), a blackboard messaging system (for agents), a remote launch control for applications and an LCD projector controller. More information is available here.
