Regarding to discovery and self-administration, I think we could look at specifications like Jini, that have solved this, in my opinion, in a very good way.
JXTA, for instance, could also be evaluated ;), once we have jxta.net running . Benchmarks and tutorials about alchemi apis will be a good effort to give view to Alchemi. thx, cax On 5/1/06, Tibor Biro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Nice to see some discussion on these lists ;) My targets for Alchemi: - improve the framework with features required for corporate applications. Some examples would be redundancy, self-administration, automatic grid discovery and so on. - raise awareness by creating interesting applications. These will have to be non-scientific and something that a regular Joe would be interested in. I think we have to pass a certain threshold of users to really gain momentum.
