Yeah, in essence it is Bill Joy's 6th web which is the web for embedded devices
and it consists of a network of Embedlet container-based nodes utilizing an
internet overlay technology provided by JXTA (see
http://www.jxta.org/project/www/busmktg.html) and also perhaps JINI.
JXTA provides the complete secure jackability infrastructure and Embedlets
provide the embedded logic and also the extremely critical
inter-Embedlet-container protocol.
The Embedlet containers can then be wired together (graphically or otherwise)
just like the Embedlets themselves are, thereby allowing distributed
applications to be snapped together with relative ease.
The beauty of this is that this protocol consists of simply having the JXTA
layer route a certain class of Embedlet container messages between containers.
JXTA allows these containers to exist anywhere on the Internet, regardless of
whether or not they are behind NAT boxes or firewalls, using a secure and
reliable transport.
I think that the hard work that you and Gregg and Andrzej did on the container
and protocol design is going to start to pay off in a big way in the near
future.
