Sun Microsystems公司一直在与基于Windows的系统抗衡,最近,它又提出了以PC为核心的JINI(读作“genie”)计算模型,这种以Java为基础的技术使得网络上设备的共享更加容易,这里提到的设备涉及面很广,从计算机到视频播放器,比比皆是。 JINI是由Sun公司的Bill Joy主持开发的,它使得在网络上插入设备变得异常简单,就如同是将电话线插入电话机的插座。一旦插入了设备,比如打印机,你只需要将它声明为是网络可用的,此后,网络上连接 Sun Microsystems, Inc., which has been contending with Windows-based systems, recently proposed a PC-centric JINI (pronounced “genie”) computing model that makes Java-based technology easier to share across devices on the network The devices mentioned here cover a very wide range, from computers to video players, abound. JINI was developed by Bill Joy, a Sun company, that makes it extremely easy to plug devices into the network just as if you plugged a phone line into a phone’s outlet. Once you have inserted a device, such as a printer, you only have to declare it as being available to the network, and thereafter,
