Résumé: The Ninja project seeks to enable the broad innovation of robust, scalable, distributed Internet services, and to permit the emerging class of extremely heterogeneous devices to seamlessly access these services. Our architecture consists of four basic elements: bases, which are powerful workstation cluster environments with a software platform that simpli®es scalable service construction; units, which are the devices by which users access the services; active proxies, which are transformational elements that are used for unit- or service-speci®c adaptation; and paths, which are an abstraction through which units, services, and active proxies are composed.
