- | ===== What is AmbientTalk | + | ====== What is AmbientTalk about? ====== |
- | Ambient-Oriented programming is a programming paradigm whose properties are derived from the characteristics of hardware platforms for mobile computing. Mobile hardware devices are often provided with wireless networks facilities, allowing them to engage in collaboration with their environment. However, the autonomous nature of these devices as well as the volatile connections over their wireless infrastructure has its repercussions on the software that employs them. The basic assumption of the Ambient-Oriented Programming paradigm is that languages should incorporate possible network failures at the heart of their programming model. | + | |

- | * **Prototype-based** The mismatch between classes and distribution is well-documented and further aggravated in the context | + | |
- | * **Non-blocking** To avoid harming the autonomy of the mobile | + | |
- | * **Communication-Aware** To encompass network failures, objects should be able to keep a log of their own activities, allowing for error recovery. | + | |
- | * **Resource-Aware** Service discovery is an integral part of any ambient-oriented language since resources are encountered dynamically in the ever-changing | + | |

+ | * It abandons the RPC abstraction | ||
+ | * It has built-in programming language constructs for objects to discover one another in the local ad hoc network. Peer-to-peer //service discovery// is built into the language. | ||
+ | * It features a functional, object-oriented kernel language built upon the principles of prototype-based programming (based on Scheme, Self and Smalltalk). The kernel language is reflective and hence extensible from within the language itself. | ||
