A communication broker for nomadic computing systems

Abstract

This paper presents the Esperanto Broker, a communication platform for nomadic computing applications. By using this broker, developers can model application components as a set of objects that are distributed over wireless devices and interact via remote method invocations. The Esperanto Broker is able to guarantee remote object interactions despite device movements and/or disconnections. We describe the conceptual model behind the architecture, discuss implementation issues, and present preliminary experimental results. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2005.
