....in Ada 95 (submitted to Ada Europe 96) S. Tucker Taft March 15, 1996 Abstract A new paradigm for computing is emerging based on the Internet and the World Wide Web, accompanied by a new standard programming platform based on the Java(tm) technology recently announced by Sun Microsystems [4]. The Java technology includes the definition for a platformindependent byte code representation for small applications called applets, which allows Java enabled Web browsers to download and execute these Java applets using a byte code interpreter. Although the Java byte code representation ....

....for this was the IBM PC running Intermetrics, Inc. 733 Concord Avenue, Cambridge MA 02138, USA 2 some variant of DOS or Windows. In the 90 s, it looks like the move is to the Internet and the World Wide Web. The platform for this new kind of computing could very well be the Java(tm) technology [4] recently announced by Sun Microsystems. Sun s Java(tm) technology has three fundamental elements: ffl a new object oriented language called Java based loosely on C , heavily modified to provide a simpler, safer language [6] ffl a specification for a Java virtual machine (Java VM) with an ....

....overcome the fixed client server based approach of today s distributed applications. Furthermore, agents are necessary for the dynamically assembling of distribution channels, etc. A base for the development of this agents and their implementation can be the use of the programming language Java [SUN 95] It is interesting to mention that Java will also be used for the Virtual Machine requirements of MHEG part 6 support for enhanced interactive applications which can be used as a standard for software implementation of set top boxes. The underlying protocol for the Internet Internet ....

....each other directly. Hence, MUDs are social virtual realities which allow people to interact and communicate in pseudo spatial surroundings. Additional to this application scenarios there exists also the opportunity to add extended interaction to existing Web pages using Java based applications [SUN 95] Aside from this, Java offers the possibility to use new data types and functions inside existing applications. New code protocols, functions, applications are encoded in an architecture neutral intermediate format and can be received like data over the network. The software transparently ....

....to achieve these enhancements in large scale deployments; disruptions resulting from such service upgrades can adversely aoeect long running sessions of highly available distributed services. To enable service extensibility, we leverage the trend towards using interpreted languages (such as Java [11], Safe TCL [3] or Python [16] for distributed services and applications [13] Interpreters for such languages already support or can be extended to support dynamic procedure instantiation: that is, code for a procedure can be installed in the run time environment after a program has started ....

....parametrizable by application speci c metrics. 5 Related Work Several areas of work impact the design of a framework for active distributed services: The Design of Interpreted Languages: There exist several type safe languages for programming server to client code migration e.g. Java [11], Safe TCL [3] and Python [16] Omniware [20] allows conversion of code written in languages like C and C into code fragments; it provides a substrate for interpreting these code fragments. Some of these languages may be more appropriate for implementing ADSs than others. the substrate simply ....

These efficient and flexible access methods, together with the easy to use, point and click user interfaces of WWW browsers, such as Mosaic and Netscape, have been some of the main factors contributing to the success of the Web. Continuous media, such as on demand video and audio, play important ....
