Abstract:

A problem with a ubiquitous device like a cellular phone is that it is not properly integrated with contemporary distributed systems. Our goal is to improve this, by enabling cellular phones as interacting clients in a distributed system. We have devised an architecture with two main components: 1) A cellular phone, and 2) a remote extensible server based on a mobile code system. The cellular phone link provides a communication channel to the remote extensible server. This channel is used both for extending remote servers with mobile code and for event notification from remote servers. We have built a prototype weather alarm system, to illustrate the functionality of the architecture. Our prototype system is in daily use, and may be accessed and used by anyone from the World Wide Web.
