PsiNaptic to Integrate JMatos™ with IBM WebSphere™
Micro Environment
CALGARY, ALBERTA, CANADA - - PsiNaptic Inc., the first company
to implement stand alone Jini Technology for embedded processors, today
announced that it will integrate JMatos™ with IBM WebSphere Micro
Environment™ and WebSphere Studio Device Developer™ software to provide
a solution for adaptive networking capabilities in mobile and embedded devices.
IBM and PsiNaptic will work together to integrate JMatos with WebSphere Micro Environment, IBM's runtime environment for e-business on small devices and will
jointly promote the combined platforms to their respective customers.
JMatos, PsiNaptic's small footprint implementation of Jini Technology, brings
adaptive networking to embedded processors found in mobile phones and PDAs,
industrial controls, automotive telematics units, medical instrumentation, and
appliances. JMatos has successfully passed Jini network technology compatibility
tests required by Sun Microsystems.
JMatos software is a Jini networking technology for embedded processors. It
enables resource-constrained devices to exchange information and software
applications autonomously, adapting seamlessly to a continually changing
environment or network. Applications (or the physical objects they represent)
have the
added ability to discover each other and cooperate; thus
enhancing
the functions they deliver. PsiNaptic's implementation does not rely on surrogate architecture and does not assume the presence of a central server, allowing
devices to form ad-hoc networks.
JMatos enables system implementations to extend dynamic distributed
application and object-oriented methods to the smallest computing devices.
The application of these methods greatly reduces system capital costs and
operating costs, as well as enhancing system performance.
"Today's businesses are looking to wireless and mobile e-business as an
important competitive advantage, and IBM and its partners are focused on
helping customers extend their pervasive computing capabilities," said Peter
Gaucher, Director, Device-led Segment, IBM Pervasive Computing. "This
combination of IBM and PsiNaptic technology will allow service providers to
better remotely monitor and control small devices and link them to back-end
e-business infrastructure - allowing anytime, anyplace access to technology,
which is the true promise of pervasive computing."
"The cooperation with IBM is a significant achievement for PsiNaptic," says
Aaron Dagan, President and CEO of PsiNaptic Inc. "IBM is a leader in
pervasive computing and shares our vision of a networked world in which
devices act automatically and autonomously on behalf of people".
Software development kits for WebSphere Studio are available for the
J9 J2SE and CDC Foundation Profile Virtual Machines and can be downloaded
