Abstract

Mobile distributed applications are becoming increasingly important. The tuple space is a convenient mechanism for exchanging data in a distributed application, and JavaSpaces, a part of the SUN Jini technology, is a leading implementation of the tuple space concept. Unfortunately, due to Java 2 Micro Edition (J2ME) limitations, it is not possible to access JavaSpaces from a mobile phone. This paper describes MobileSpaces - a system that brings JavaSpaces-like API to mobile phones. MobileSpaces follow the Jini Surrogate Architecture. A surrogate acts as an intermediary between a mobile phone-resident application and JavaSpaces
