We have recently added a section on the NOMAD Client Software for PDAs and J2ME enabled mobile phones to the website. The software is described by means of screenshots.

Today, the NOMAD consortium launched a new website related to service engineering: servicediscovery.net. On servicediscovery.net you can find downloads related to the service engineering technologies developed within NOMAD!

The first release of the NOMAD patches to enable interconnectivity between OpenSLP and LDAP is now available for download from servicediscovery.net. The patch is done against the OpenSLP 1.1.5 source tree, which has been taken from the OpenSLP project CVS repository available at sourceforge.net. See the file "README.NOMAD" in the archive for additional build instructions.

This week, the NOMAD website experienced a major update. We polished the whole site and updated various information, e.g. status information on the documents recently delivered to the commission or the consortium descriptions. We also introduced this news system to be more flexible and up-to-date in the future.

This is the latest version of the UoB JAdhoc, version 0.2. It has been adapted to run to the Personal Java specification which makes it run on most JVMs avalable in Linux, Windows and PDAs.
We have tested JAdhoc for the following environments:

Linux
Windows XP, 2K
Sharp Zaurus

Download UoB-JAdhoc from mobileip.org

In an effort to bring NOMAD closer to small mobile devices, a port of UoB NOMAD is released for the Sharp Zaurus PDA. The installation of this package depends on the existence of IPRoute 2 which is also released for the original Sharp Linux (not OpenZaurus). Both packages can be found in on the Mobile IP website.

This is the latest version of the UoB JAdhoc, version 0.11.
What is new in this version ?

Got it to work on Windows XP (still some loose ends),
Performed a lot of fine-tuning to work better with Linux,
Improved buffering for Linux and
finally, Fixed a lot of bugs
