PARC Automates WLAN Security, Interoperability: Page 2 of 2

The second project, according to PARC, resulted in the development of what it calls the Obje interoperability platform, a software architecture that can interconnect devices over both wired and wireless networks. PARC said that the platform "uses mobile code to allow devices to teach each other how to work together without prior knowledge or shared standards."

PARC envisions Obje as a means by which consumers will be able to network these devices and interact with information in a way that suits their needs rather than in a way that's predicated on the limitations of individual devices, said Hermann Calabria, a principal in PARC's business development unit.

The organization provided no details about whether or when the technology would be commercialized.
