Extensions to Jini Service Architecture for Pervasive Computing

Web service architectures are being increasingly used as platforms for distributed applications. Mobile devices are already used everywhere. Both of them are paving the way for the emergence of pervasive computing systems. Many pervasive computing systems have not yet taken mobility and Web service architecture into account due to the lack of an appropriate supporting infrastructure. In this paper we present a new infrastructure for pervasive computing system. The infrastructure builds on both the Jini service architecture and the Web service technology. The combination allows designers to dynamically plugin and adapts pervasive computing. And in such infrastructure devices can discover each other and can utilize each other´s services, whether they exist Jini lookup service or Web service registry
