Sun's JiniaA A networking protocol can enable virtually any device to interact without the complexities of drivers, integrating diverse operating systems, or managing complex cabling systems. Jini has extraordinary potential -- but until now, most coverage of Jini has been highly technical. Jini Technology: An Overview is the first complete Jini briefing for every IT and business executive. Leading technology evaluator Ilango Kumaran begins by reviewing Jini's goals and applications. Next, he introduces Jini's architecture, demonstrating how it allows networked devices to come together "on the fly," and interact simply and easily. Coverage includes: Jini's key concepts and components; a look at a working Jini system, and how Jini compares with competing technologies. Finally, Kumaran offers expert insights into the future of Jini, based on its advantages, limitations, competition, and current levels of industry support. Foreword by Keith Edwards, author of Core Jini, 2nd Edition and Jini: Example By Example.
