Abstract :
This paper proposes, M3A-multicast mobile measurement architecture-a software architecture for the development of flexible distributed measurement systems. M3A centers at the large level on modern Internet technologies such as multicast and mobile computing and at the small level on a Java and actor-based framework. M 3A allows the building of open, portable, and dynamically reconfigurable systems. The paper describes the architecture and exemplifies it by some examples
