System Architecture

Developers will play a key role in edge computing adoption as long as edge-aligned processes, products and people are in place.

Netflix’s secret to success is happening behind the scenes.

Here's how you start to focus on shipping value, while you drift between the junction of infrastructure and software.

There's a quote from Alan Kay I've often cited as a source of inspiration in my various projects, from Revactor to Reia to Celluloid : "...

Bill Joy, the inventor of Berkeley Unix, the founder of Sun Microsystems, and now a partner at Kleiner Perkins, that most blue-blooded of venture capital firms, is describing a taxonomy for the Internet. He calls it “the six Webs.” I…

Jini is a technology designed to let anyone connect any device to any network in a straightforward manner. Hinkmond shows how you can use Sun's EmbeddedJava tools to build a system that incorporates Jini technology into small memory footprint, network-enabled devices.

When Sun Microsystems introduced Java in 1995, the company also started using a new tagline in its public awareness campaigns, "The Network Is the Computer". Ever wonder what that really means? Well, you're not alone. Even Sun wasn't sure--until it came up with Jini.

Bill Joy delivered his visionary keynote, "Java and Jini: Towards a Science of Computing," to a full auditorium Wednesday morning. Joy began the session with an overview of his personal history as a programmer, and the goals (portable software with reproducible results and high performance) that eventually led to the creation of Java.

Michael examines Jini, Sun's system architecture for distributed computing. Jini embodies a model for how devices and software connect on a network and how distributed systems can operate.

Object-oriented schemes such as service-based architectures built on Sun's Jini framework for distributed services provide more flexibility than the traditional client-server model.

When you start working with data science and machine learning you notice that there’s a important thing you will miss more often than not…

Even encrypted data sent on the internet leaves some footprints—metadata about where packets originate, where they are bound, and when they are sent. Mix networks are meant to hide that metadata by routing packets through various intermediate nodes to try to thwart the traffic analysis used by nation-state-level adversaries to identify "opponents" of various kinds. Tor is perhaps the best-known mix network, but there are others that make different tradeoffs to increase the security of their users. Rollercoaster is a recently announced mechanism that extends the functionality of mix networks in order to more efficiently communicate among groups.

The world would be a simpler place for all processing engine makers if they just had to make one device to cover all use cases, thus maximizing volumes
