- | AmbientTalk is a contemporary distributed programming language. It is an ambient-oriented programming language, which means that it is particularly geared towards developing next-generation distributed software which has to run on mobile devices (such as cellular phones or PDAs) deployed on open, ad hoc wireless networks. At its core, AmbientTalk uses a prototype-based object model for building abstractions. Its distribution and concurrency facilities are heavily inspired by the actor model. Current implementations are available for the Java J2SE and J2ME (PocketPC) platforms. | + | |

- | AmbientTalk is developed to run on a virtual machine that supports the J2ME CDC Personal Profile 1.0. For our experiments we have deployed AmbientTalk on top of IBM's J9 virtual machine, but the implementation of AmbientTalk does not require any of the libraries that are specific to this virtual machine. | + | |
