On the eve of the Seventh Jini Community Meeting, InfoWorld is calling a recent new interest in the power of Jini a 'subdued market reception'. "Although Sun has not used Jini in any products, Sun believes the technology’s time is arriving, thanks to the advent of concepts such as grid, utility, and on-demand computing and with service-oriented architectures, said Jennifer Kotzen, senior product marketing manager for Jini at Sun. These concepts involve distributing compute cycles and services around a network on an as-needed basis, without particular regard to the origin of the cycles. Sun is now using Jini in development of products for dynamic connectivity services."
