Foil 33 Remarks on Micro Tango II

From Tango Futures: XML for Portals, Web-based Collaboration and Distance Education Rice University Tango Tutorial -- October 18 1999. by Geoffrey C. Fox


Jini and Java implementations are most elegant for micro device to Tango agent linkage. The necessary robust Java infrastructure will be available on a 12 month time scale
  • Java will of course be particularly attractive for portable implementations useable on many different devices while
  • Jini will support the inevitable mobile erratic linkages
Note events are instantiated (serialized) as XML messages and event processing is more or less synonymous to message routing,queuing, archiving and rendering
XML data structures could include general <micro> tags as well as more specific sub-tags for each application
The micro device display should be similar to display of applications such as memos and mail on existing Palm applications with hierarchical structure
