Abstract :
In this paper, we describe our Java RMI inspired Object Request Broker architecture MicroRMI for use with networked embedded devices. MicroRMI relieves the software developer from the tedious and error- prone job of writing communication protocols for interacting with such embedded devices. MicroRMI supports easy integration of high-level application specific control logic with low-level device specific control logic. Our experience from applying MicroRMI in the context of a distributed robotics control application, clearly demonstrates that it is feasible to use distributed object technology in developing control systems for distributed embedded platforms possessing severe resource restrictions.
