J2ME: JavaTM 2 Platform,
Micro Edition
Most of us use more computers embedded in devices and appliances than we do PCs,
workstations, and mainframes combined. These computers are embedded everywhere and
increasingly networked. The JavaTM
2 Platform, Micro Edition addresses this vast space of ubiquitous networked
consumer and embedded devices, from smart cards to pagers and mobile phones,
all the way up to set-top boxes and Internet screenphones.
|
Within the J2ME framework, major types of consumer devices are grouped into a number
of categories, such as TV set-top, screenphone, wireless (pagers and cell phones, for
example), automotive, and digital assistant. Configurations and profiles are being
developed by Sun and the Java Community to specify a minimum set of core technology
and APIs to support many of these application categories.
Come learn more about the underlying technologies and the various profiles that are
taking shape under J2ME. Specifically, this presentation gives you an under-the-hood
view (including status and roadmap) of J2ME technologies including the core technologies
and the various profiles. We will discuss the use of the K Virtual machine (KVM)
in mobile phones, pagers, and Palm handhelds; PersonalJava technology and its use in
Internet screenphones and settop boxes; and EmbeddedJava's application to deeply
embedded devices. We also explore JavaCardTM and
related technologies, as time allows.
