Abstract

We developed the Obje interoperability framework, a middleware technology that lets networked applications and services coordinate with each another-even when they know almost nothing about one other. We´ve implemented the current version of the Obje framework (version 4) in Java. It supports both Java and native mobile code and can be implemented in a variety of languages and platforms. It also runs on several platforms, including Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, and Windows PocketPC. Leveraging the Obje framework, we have been able to return to our focus of developing pervasive spaces to explore the human experience of pervasive computing.
