Tutorial overview: JINI: towards seamless connectivity of hardware devices and software services

A distributed system must adapt to network changes, as new devices are added, old ones are removed, existing ones change, and parts of the network fails or changes. The Jini architecture is designed to adapt to those changes.

Jini is a Java-based simple infrastructure for seamless connection of hardware devices and software services together in a networked environment.
