The Laboratory for
Service-ORiented
Computing
EnviRonment (SORCER)
is an
interdisciplinary
laboratory at the
Computer Science
Department, in Texas
Tech University. The
principal goal is
research in network,
service, and
object-centric
programming. Object
oriented techniques
are directly applied
to the network, and
everything on the
network is treated
as a service
(service
oriented).So,
self-aware and
autonomic
environments are
created which are
conceptually a
simple grid of
federated network
resources.These
resource federations
provide an execution
environment for a
new generation of
interactive
service-oriented
programs. Thus, the
computer is the grid
of network objects.
Sorcer.Grid, a grid
computing
Infrastructure, is
currently running on
the Sorcer lab
compute hosts and
HPCC compute hosts.
Information
regarding
Sorcer.Grid and
Sorcer.Grid
providers
installation are
available at
Sorcer Information -
PowerPoint slides.
Sorcer.Grid is based
on Sun's Jini
Networking
Technology
http://www.jini.org/.

A set of "manual
pages" has been
written to assist in
executing the
services, utilities,
and tools that are
part of the
JiniTechnology
Starter Kit.They can
be found at
http://hep.ph.liv.ac.uk/~sloane/javaspaces/doc/manpages-index.html.
You can find Jini

The Inca X(TM)
platform is designed
specifically for
Jini(TM) developers
allowing them to
write, test and
deploy services all
within the Inca X
environment. For
downloading and
