TINA and the Internet: an evaluation of some scenarios

The paper is an attempt to analyze the applicability of TINA in an Internet context considering the usefulness and the need of TINA solutions from a business point of view and not in its applicability "per se". For this reason some applicability scenarios have been chosen. They describe the applicability in a general framework more than describing the technicalities. The results are that TINA should pay more attention to the developments of the Internet in terms of protocols, APIs and products so that it could be a useful "component based architecture" for building servers and services over the Internet.
