Technology Review


The technology review is an internal deliverable produced for the IMesh Toolkit Project and is a study of design and technical issues relevant to the project. The review provided an up-to-date survey of best practice in subject gateway development. It covered developments in architecture, standards, protocols and software.
Please note that the intended purpose of the review was to reflect the state of play at the time of completion of the deliverable (early 2001), therefore some of the information will not be current.
