MicroJIAC is a lightweight agent architecture and framework that eases the development of applications for different kind of devices. It is Java-based and supports the Java 2 Platform Standard and Micro Edition (J2ME/J2SE).

MicroJIAC

  • is runnable on devices of different categories. The field of application reaches from heavily constrained embedded and mobile devices, to more powerful desktop and server systems.
  • allows the implementation of scalable and device independent agents. This means that is hides platform specific capabilities and provides a basic abstraction layer.
  • eases agent development and provides build and deployment utilities.
  • offers a communication infrastructure which abstracts from specific network and transport protocols.
