JINI Connection Technology
nThree basic trends:
–end user is
system administrator
–computers
disappear
–the one
computer is everywhere
nVision: When
you walk up to an interaction device that is part of a system employing Jini technology, all of its services are as available to you as if they were on your
own computer--and services include
not only software but hardware
devices as well, including disk drives, DVD players, VCRs, printers, scanners, digital cameras, and almost anything else you could imagine that passes information in
and out. Adding a new device to a system employing Jini technology is simply plugging it in.
