Multicast control of mobile measurement systems

Abstract

This paper proposes M/sup 3/A-Multicast Mobile Measurement Architecture-a software architecture for the development of flexible distributed measurement systems. M/sup 3/A centres at the large level on nowadays Internet technologies such as multicast and mobile computing and at the small level on a Java and Actor-based Framework. M/sup 3/A allows the building of open, portable and dynamically re-configurable systems. The paper describes the architecture and exemplifies it by some examples.
