Progress

• Coded and tested convenience classes that allow
  for Jini service discovery and registration.
• Multicast discovery of lookup services.
• Service search.
• Service registration.
• Subclassed bondDefaultStrategy to create
  Jini-enabled strategy using bondTupleSpaceEnabledS
  trategy as an example.

6
Progress (continued)

• Sublassed bondJiniEnabledStrategy into
  ServiceLookupTestStrategy and ServiceRegistrationT
  estStrategy.
• Created simple Bond blueprints for testing new
  strategies called ServiceLookupTest.bpt and
  ServiceRegistrationTest.bpt respectively.
• For debugging purposes, created BondJiniGUI class
  (a subclass of bondGuiStrategy). This allows
  user to see error messages on the console.

Progress (continued)

• Met with Dr. Ji to discuss progress.
• Demonstrated current functionality.
• Discussed other direction. This means a Jini
  server in a Bond network. See Figure 2. Dr. Ji
  agreed that this is one possible solution.
• Now beginning Phase Two.
