This is a lightweight java dynamic component framework
...The main goal of the Java Dynamic Component Framework (jdcf) is to simplify the writing (and reuse) of individual Java components, parts of distributed networked application.
The model of the application is described in an XML file.
The components are pure Java classes file using a pure Java middleware.
Each component may be packaged in a jar or several related components may be packaged together.
Modular, agent-oriented and extendable agent toolkit.
...Based on this mechanism, agents can be added dynamically to a running system, can be stopped (for example in case of an error) and restarted later. Ellipsis already comes with a predefined set of agents, offering basic services like agency, loader, holdingarea and migration.
JCuckoo is the project aimed at creating a simple and universal platform for distributed computing and object migration in Java. JCuckoo will enable creating both small-scale (cluster-like) networks and wide-area (even worldwide) computing.
