Overview

Salutation-Lite is a footprint-reduced implementation of the Salutation Architecture. It is intended for the information appliance market, where storage space is limited, communication bandwidth may be low and power consumption is at a premium. Targets appliances are hand-held and palm-sized computers, portable phones, pagers, home appliances and local information servers.

Salutation-Lite may be used as a reference model for beginning a Salutation implementation. Salutation-Lite provides a reference implementation for the Salutation service discovery function. Salutation’s availability check and session management may be added to this simple design.

It's easy to become involved since Salutation-Lite is an open source project.

Get the Source

Salutation-Lite has been implemented on three different reference platforms. The current reference platforms include Windows 95/98/NT, Java, Windows CE. The Windows 95/98/NT code is now available for download. Click here to view a table listing the main differences between the three reference platforms.

To demonstrate Salutation Lite's versatility, the reference platforms employ different transport managers. The Java version utilizes RMI, the Windows CE uses IrDA, and the Windows 95/98/NT version takes advantage of both Ethernet over TCP/IP and IrDA. Salutation-Lite can easily be ported to other platforms and communication protocols.
