Subject: Jini

Hi,

Perhaps this can be the glue to our proposal?

                Jini technology lets you
                network anything, anytime,
                anywhere. 
                Jini is a Sun R&D project
                inspired by Bill Joy that
                dramatically expands the power
                of Java technology.  Jini
                technology enables spontaneous
                networking of a wide variety of
                hardware and software -
                anything that can be connected.

We can extend jini with capabilities that are sensitive
to the network state.  Add adaptiveness a la Demeter. etc.

Just a thought,
