This text contains the formal specification for the Jini technology. It offers a review of distributed computing fundamentals, an overview of Jini architecture, and an introduction to the key concepts that are regarded as the source of the technology's simplicity and power: remote objects, leasing, distributed events, and two-phase commit protocol. It is said that the formal specification provides the definitive description of every element of the Jini architecture (ACM order: # 701996).
