Mobile component runtime environment for mobile devices

The evolution of software must be concurred with that of hardware to provide users with best services. Despite of currently prominent evolution of hardware, lazy evolution of software prohibits users from utilizing full capabilities of mobile devices. So our institute is developing a mobile component runtime environment which can extend and optimize platform capabilities. It makes it possible that software platform can be extended automatically and reduce software platform upgrade and reorganizing issues. To achieve the goal of the mobile component runtime environment our component model supports two different types of components. One is in-process component, and the other is out-of-process component. Various and beneficial services are expected using the two types of components. The mobile component runtime environment includes component runtime engine and out-of-process component runtime engine to run the two types of components. To enhance the accessibility to our-of-process components, the mobile component runtime environment uses light-weight RPC for inter-process communication mechanism. And it enables Java applications to access C/C++ components.
