Abstract
Mobile devices like PDAs or mobile phones have become widespread. Similarly, network functionality like GSM, Bluetooth, W-Lan has become standard. On the other hand not many real applications have taken the mobility into account. The reason maybe due to the lack of an appropriate platform for applications which could use generic basic functionalities like networking, discovery, activation of new behavior, etc. as it is used in enterprise applications. Jini and JXTA have not been able to be adapted to small devices as their resource usage goes beyond the availabilities of such devices. We propose a new dynamic lightweight platform - Jadabs - consisting of a small footprint core layer and a modularized pluggable distributed infrastructure. Jadabs uses the service oriented architecture of OSGi and combines it with a dynamic Aspect Oriented Programming approach. We propose therefore to extend the OSGi API with dAOP functionality. On the other hand the dAOP solution has to be extended to be used in a container. The so obtained core layer is about 300 KBytes. The combination allows to plugin and adapt a distributed infrastructure to the devices resource capabilities like Bluetooth, GSM, or W-Lan. Compared to other distributed infrastructures everything is included in one package and usage of only parts of it are not possible. Show more
