Abstract
The goal of this tutorial is to provide the attendees with
the knowledge necessary to decide whether or not to use
the Java programming language to develop distributed/mobile
applications.
At the end of
the tutorial, the attendees will know how to write network/parallel
code in Java, how to migrate mobile codes in Java, and how
to write dynamically upgradeable codes in Java. More importantly
they will be able to decide if Java is the right answer
to their lab/production problems.
Background
Knowledge of the Participants
Participants should have some experience in programming.
No Java knowledge is required.
