JAIN/sup TM/, a set of integrated network APIs for the Java/sup TM/ platform, provides a framework to build and integrate solutions (or "services") that span across packet (e.g., IP or ATM), wireless, and PSTN networks. The objective of JAIN is to provide service portability, convergence, and secure access (by services residing outside of the network) to such integrated networks. JAIN is defined and specified by a large number of participating communication companies (the JAIN Community), and according to a well-documented process (the Java Community Process or JCP). The objective of the JAIN Community is to create an open market for services across integrated networks using Java technology. The authors provide the JAIN business case. They then summarize how the JAIN Community works, and introduce how the JAIN Community is organized. They also explain how separate JAIN work items fit together. In particular, they provide the rationale for the currently supported levels of abstraction (in terms of session/call signaling models) in JAIN, and look at possible implementation scenarios.
JAIN/sup TM/ 是一套为Java/sup TM/平台提供的集成网络API,提供构建和集成跨越包络(例如IP或ATM)、无线和公用交换电话网(PSTN)网络的解决方案(或“服务”)的框架。JAIN的目标是确保服务的可移植性、融合性和安全访问(通过位于网络外的服务)到这些集成网络。JAIN由众多参与的通信公司(JAIN社区)定义和指定,并按照一个文档化良好的流程(Java社区流程或JCP)进行。JAIN社区的目标是利用Java技术为跨集成网络的服务创造一个开放市场。作者提供了JAIN的商业案例,随后总结了JAIN社区的运作方式,并介绍了JAIN社区的组织结构。他们还解释了不同的JAIN工作项目是如何相互结合的。特别地,他们提供了对JAIN当前支持的抽象层级(涉及会话/呼叫信令模型)的理由,并探讨了可能的实现场景。
