Abstract :
Jini connection technology forms a network of devices on the fly, without manual connection or configuration. It can also complement other technologies that strive for "anytime, anywhere" connectivity. The article looks at lookup and discovery services; reliability and scalability; Jini architectural requirements; service for non-Jini devices; Jini mobile edition for wireless devices; Jini implementations; and competing and related technologies.
