Multicast control of mobile measurement systems

This paper proposes, M/sup 3/A-multicast mobile measurement architecture-a software architecture for the development of flexible distributed measurement systems. M/sup 3/A centers at the large level on modern Internet technologies such as multicast and mobile computing and at the small level on a Java and actor-based framework. M/sup 3/A allows the building of open, portable, and dynamically reconfigurable systems. The paper describes the architecture and exemplifies it by some examples.
