Hello World
My name is Chad Hardin and I'm a software engineer here at Topia Technology. Starting today I will be periodically blogging about Topia Technology and our applications of what we call "Mobile Object Technology."
Today I'm going to introduce the concept of Mobile Objects (often abbreviated MOs). In brief, a mobile object is running code that is capable of transferring its execution to another machine. This transfer involves migrating the state of the running code as well as the compiled code itself. Now, migrating code to different machines willy nilly can bring about security issues. We use our technology to ensure that MOs are not allowed to access resources on the machines they migrate to without asking for and being granted permission to do so.
To enable this type of MO technology, we use Kolona. Kolona is a Topia Technology software product that hosts MOs, ensures they are secure, and provides services to them so they can do neat things.
Starting soon, I will be presenting on a regular basis some of the neat things we are doing with MOs here at Topia. I will also be presented some interesting ideas of where we want our MO technology to go in the future.
Stay tuned....
