Toward a Shared Model for Wide Area Interoperability of Ubiquitous Computing Environments (2008)
Michael Blackstock, Rodger Lea, Charles Krasic
Abstract. Despite many years of ubiquitous computing (ubicomp) middleware research, deployment of such systems has not been widespread. For such systems to become more widely adopted, we argue that a...

The DART (Distributed Adaptive RunTime) project is developing a software runtime that will allow application authors to quickly develop distributed software, such as network or web software, without...
Issues in the design of a scalable shared virtual environment for the Internet (1997)
Rodger Lea, Yasuaki Honda, Kouichi Matsuda, Olof Hagsand, Martin Stenius
Building a distributed virtual environment that scales to many participants in low bandwidth, high latency networks is a technical challenge. The key issues are maintaining acceptable performance in...
Virtual society: Extending the WWW to support a multi-user interactive shared 3D environment (1995)
Yasuaki Honda, Kouichi Matsuda, Jun Rekimoto, Rodger Lea
We propose an architecture and the necessary protocols for supporting multi-user interactive shared 3D environments. This proposal is based upon the existingWWW and the current VRML definition. We...

The Impact Of Distribution On Support For Object-Oriented Software Development (1993)
Object-oriented computing is now an established technology for software development. However, a number of challenges must be met before the topic can claim to be fully mature. One of the most...
COOL: system support for distributed object-oriented programming (1993)
Rodger Lea, Christian Jacquemot, Eric Pilvesse
This paper is structured as follows; we first introduce the COOL v2 architecture, discussing its functionality and usage. We then outline details of its implementation and its performance. After this...
Implementing a modular object oriented operating system on top of CHORUS (1992)
Paulo Amaral, Rodger Lea, Christian Jacquemot
Building distributed operating systems benefits from the micro-kernel approach by allowing better support for modularization. However, we believe that that we need to take this support a step...
A Model for Persistent Shared Memory Addressing in Distributed Systems (1992)
Paulo Amaral, Christian Jacquemot, Rodger Lea
COOL v2 1 is an object oriented persistent computing system for distributed programming. With COOL v2 , C++ objects can be persistent and shared freely between applications and distributed across...
