Infosphere Infrastructure (II)

Abstract

The Caltech Infospheres Infrastructure (II) is a distributed system framework that is implemented in Java. It provides a generic object model and a variety of messaging models (asynchronous, synchronous, and remote procedure calls). This system is freely available, so that researchers and developers can develop lightweight distributed systems that can leverage open standards and the World Wide Web. Caltech is developing methodologies that take advantage of the system's design so that reasoning on entire distributed systems is feasible. With these methodologies, one can say something about the reliability, completeness, and robustness of a distributed system as a whole. The II is being extended to support interoperability with other distributed system models and to utilize emerging standards in the Java domain.
