- | ===== What is AmbientTalk all 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. | + | |
- | From this observation, | + | AmbientTalk |
- | * **Prototype-based** The mismatch between classes and distribution is well-documented and further aggravated in the context of mobile computing. | + | |
- | * **Non-blocking** To avoid harming the autonomy of the mobile devices, no device should be blocked awaiting either to send a message or receive a result. | + | |
- | * **Communication-Aware** To encompass network failures, objects should | + | |
- | * **Resource-Aware** Service discovery is an integral part of any ambient-oriented language since resources are encountered dynamically in the ever-changing network topology surrounding a device. | + | |
