Abstract

Pervasive computing is a vision aimed at facilitating access to information anywhere and anytime, wherein stationary and mobile devices interact seamlessly to aid the users in their tasks. As the enabling hardware becomes smaller, smarter and cheaper this vision is poised to become a reality. While hardware devices form the building blocks of pervasive environments, a pervasive environment requires a robust software technology that can integrate them into a single cohesive unit. This paper discusses the suitability of Jini networking technology as an enabling and integrating technology used by pervasive environments. Specific issues of Jini's suitability for mobile devices and alternative technologies are also discussed.
