Abstract :
Due to its high protocol overhead, both in data traffic and in round-trips, Java RMI is poorly suited for communication over slow wireless links. However, its performance can be enhanced without breaking compatibility with Java RMI specification, and with minimal changes to existing software and network hosts. The paper analyzes the reasons for the poor performance of Java RMI, outlines a solution based on mediator technology and evaluates the performance of a prototype implementing the solution
