Abstract

"In this paper the emerging role of Java in Telecommunications is surveyed. In particular, attention is drawn to the advantages and disadvantages of the language for application and service development. The JINI framework for the construction of robust and self-configuring distributed systems is briefly described. Replication (of processes/data) is a desirable feature of any distributed system, whereby overloaded servers may be replicated elsewhere in the distributed system in order to maintain a given quality of service to clients. Several possible options for a JINI replication service are explored. A replication framework for JINI is described, and the contribution of such a replication service in a telecommunications environment is highlighted."
