Abstract :
Jini, which is based on Java, is a service-based system featuring automatic discovery of the network and its resources. It provides fault tolerance, distributed events and transaction mechanisms. This paper starts by giving a brief overview of Jini and highlights the features that can be effectively used for network computing. It describes how Jini attributes can be used in describing and searching for network computing services. A system for high performance network computing is then described
