Ambient Intelligence is the vision that computer technology will become invisible, integrated in all the everyday objects around us. People will live in an environment that is aware of their presence, and is sensitive and responsive to their needs.
In order to build these intelligent ambients we are challenged to implement applications in a heterogeneous distributed network characterized by a volatile topology due the mobile nature of some of the nodes in the network.
A valid candidate to implement dynamic communicating systems between computational nodes in the ambient network is mobile code: code that can be transmitted across the network and evaluated on the receiver's platform. ...
We will conclude that progressive mobility may increase the performance of a mobile application. The proposed techniques can enhance overall program evaluation time, hide network latency reduce invocation latency, user interface latency, and improve application availability.
