ROCI - Remote Object Control Interface

What is ROCI?

ROCI is a software platform that enables users to optimize and control an easily reconfigurable sensing and processing network. The ROCI system encompasses a model for application development that emphasizes configuration independent design as well as the plumbing needed to connect those applications.

ROCI features include:

Thread management.
Process sandboxing.
Peer-to-peer file search and download.
Remote system management.
Universal logging.
Communication endpoints that optimize based on connection (in-memory, inter-process, variable bandwidth network), offer optional buffering, error detection, and connection-type polymorphism.
Context-dependent, domain language-based scripting system with peer synchronization and dynamic code injection.
Dynamic scheduling.
Flexible, extensible data access via web services, RSS, etc.

This website is a placeholder until the next major release of ROCI, expected at the end of August, 2005.
