To extend the field of the available services for a given client, DIET_J dynamically connects several DIET hierarchies. Within DIET_J, the several MAs access each others' resources when processing a request, thus offering to the client an entry door to resources of several hierarchies put in common in a transparent manner. This results in avoiding the growing probability of bottleneck on one MA facing all requests thus increasing the scalability of the whole system.
DIET_J is currently written in Java and relies on the JXTA-J2SE toolbox for the on-demand discovery and connection of MAs. Remind that the available version is a prototype. For more information, refer to the DIET user's manual.
Questions about DIET_J can be directed to Cedric Tedeschi.
