Interview with Van Simmons about JINI and ComputeCycles - Part 2


Fully formatted shownotes can always be found at http://javaposse.com

We now have a google group for the Java Posse at http://groups.google.com/group/javaposse

Van is the leader of the ComputeCycles project. ComputeCycles is an open-source project which uses Jini, Glassfish and Groovy to build a secure, scalable, "on-the-fly" compute grid. In this interview he talks about the role Jini plays in that effort and why it's used at the core of the ComputeCycles project.

Hi Posse Listeners. I just got through setting up the Java Posse google group. You can get it at:

http://groups.google.com/group/javaposse

Anyone can read the posts there, but only members can post (this is hopefully to cut down spam posting). It is unmoderated but if we end up with a lot of spam we might start moderating first posts (I don't think any of us want this to turn into a Chinese links spam distribution medium).

Enjoy, and I hope this group gets some traffic. We will, of course, be reading it and joining in.
