The number of inexpensive, microprocessor-equipped devices that provide wireless communication capabilities is steadily increasing while prices for these devices continue to decrease. Most of these devices today rely on some sort of proprietary network protocols which prohibits data exchange between heterogeneous devices. This paper describes the design and prototypical implementation of a simple, lightweight communication infrastructure specifically targeted to devices with limited resources. One of the central ideas of the infrastructure is to encode both remote procedure calls and user interface abstractions in XML format which provides a broad range of interoperability. In addition, we rely on simple, easily implementable software components in order to adapt the architecture to a large variety of small devices without having to resort to proxy technologies or virtual machines in extremely memory-restricted systems.
