A surrogate framework for personal profile devices
Mukundan Desikan · ThinkTech (Texas Tech University) · 2004
We are entering into a new era of computing world where the power of the larger computing devices will soon be taken over by smaller mobile devices. There has been exponential growth of these wireless and mobile devices over the past decade and soon trillions of these will be revolving as fireflies communicating with each other in the network. Imagine a world in which your digital camera takes pictures and instantly sends pictures to your mobile device and you are able to print the pictures on to your printer all happening from different locations without any restrictions. Will the near future eliminate the remoteness and boundary conditions and bring us more closely associated? The Service Oriented Computing environment together with Jini technology has been providing promising solutions to make this possible by defining an appropriate surrogate framework that would connect mobile devices to both offer services and to access services. My research is based on designing this framework that will integrate the Mobile cUents with SORCER network. I would address the following issues required to design the appropriate framework for the Personal Profile devices based on Cormected Device Configuration to be integrated with SORCER • Gateways that can act as surrogates • Surrogate hosts acting on behalf of mobile devices
