4G Wireless Research of next generation cellular network infrastructure that supports IP only devices.
Alter-Ego Investigate software agents that dynamically support personalized user services when users are disconnected or have limited mobile access.
Checkspot Process checkpoint/restart for the Solaris[TM] Operating Environment.
The Collaborative Computing Group (COCO) To conceive, prototype, deploy, and analyze novel technology for collaboration. In particular, we were exploring ways of applying the Java[tm] technology to support the collaborative activity of groups that are distributed across different locations.
Exact GC For KVM Exact and compacting garbage collection for K Virtual Machine[TM] (KVM).
Forest The Forest project was defining and developing Orthogonal Persistence for the Java platform (OPJ) and evaluating its use in a variety of application areas.
IC CAD Tools/PLAID New ASIC design methodology that merges logical and physical design processes.
ICS - Interactive Collaborative Systems Sun Microsystems Laboratories' Interactive Collaborative Systems group was working on investigating the feasibility and usability issues of a network-based virtual space.
Java[TM] Car Explore delivery of Java-based automotive services to a wireless network enabled car. The "JavaCar" consisted of a small server within the car serving an internal network of devices such as speakers, microphone, camera, Java dashboard, Java[TM] Ring reader, and GPS device. Research consisted of building the internal "component architecture" for the car itself, and the architecture for delivery of services to the car in a safe, secure, effective way.
K-Services Simplified device configuration for small devices.
Kanban The Kanban group was (mostly) concerned with the technology and applications of `just in time' or `dynamic' compiler technology.
MAPS (Mobile Automotive Platforms and Services) Enhancement of off-the-shelf products to provide capabilities for the mobile worker.
Netword Modelling Theoretical network models for Sun systems and applied to simulation tools to create toolset.
PJAMA Orthogonal Persistence for the Java platform (OPJ).
Radio Port Exploration of radio communication for configuring, monitoring, and diagnosing integrated circuits and system components.
Reliable Multicast Libraries and services for building multicast-aware applications.
Self Designed for expressive power and malleability, Self combined a pure, prototype-based object model with uniform access to state and behavior. Unlike other languages, Self allowed objects to inherit state and to change their patterns of inheritance dynamically.
Service Location Protocol  
Thermal Technologies This was an ongoing program to investigate thermal management technologies for future high power density systems at the chip, module, and systems level. The project included: high efficiency micro heat exchangers, application of CVD diamond, and liquid loops.
Walkabout The Walkabout project investigated retargetable binary translation techniques to aid in the optimization and migration of applications to new machines. Retargetability enables the support of new machines at low cost through machine descriptions, and allows experimentation with various instruction sets and architectures.
Wireless LAN Pilot Program Wireless LAN test environment for conducting nomadic and mobile computing research.
Zero Configuration Network Automatic IP networking in settings that temporarily or permanently lack administration and configuration.
