Acknowledgments

Many people at Sun Microsystems have contributed to the ideas and concepts described in this book. First, we need to thank Bill Joy for laying out the visionary ideas of a simpler, decentralized, XML message-based distributed computing paradigm. Mike Clary led the rest of the JXTA team that delivered the JXTA technology, and Ingrid Van Den Hoogen led the JXTA marketing and business team that helped us refine and explain JXTA concepts. JXTA is spearheaded by a few dedicated and unconventional engineers: Mohamed Abdelaziz, Eric Pouyoul, Jean-Christophe Hugly, Mike Duigou, and Bill Yeager. We would especially like to thank them for their incredible commitment and stubborness in making JXTA a reality. This book would not exist without their hard work. We would like to also thank the entire JXTA Team: Emily Suter, Matt Reid, Juan Soto, Chris Hutcheson, Akhil Arora, David Connelly, Carl Haywood, Kuldeep Pabla, Lynn Tognoli, Laurie Wynn, Mechelle Torre, Oiching Yeung, and Cheryl Uyeda, and other Sun employees.

Many people outside of Sun have made significant contributions to JXTA. We would like to thank Chris Genly, William Bauer, Sebastien Baehni, Bruno Margerin, Daishi Kato, Dorothea Wiarda, Gerry Seidman, Jeff Altman, Nitin Borwankar, Johannes Ernst, Brendon Wilson, Scott Capdevielle, Sing Li, Kevin Burton, and finally, the entire JXTA community for having embraced JXTA with such fervor and enthusiasm.

We were very lucky to have an exceptional set of technical reviewers for this edition. The invaluable comments of Rajesh Acharya, Kevin Burton, Jean-Henry Morin, and Srikanth Raju have made this a far better book than it would have been otherwise.
