What is the IBM Emerging Technologies Toolkit (ETTK)?
The ETTK is a software development kit for designing, developing, and executing emerging autonomic and Web service technologies. The ETTK provides an environment in which to run emerging technology examples that showcase recently announced specifications and prototypes from IBM's emerging technology development and research teams. In addition, it provides introductory material to help developers easily get started with development of autonomic technologies and Web services.
The ETTK evolved from the package known as the Web Services Toolkit (WSTK). With the renaming of the WSTK package to ETTK, the scope of technologies included within the package has been expanded to include autonomic technologies. The new toolkit assembles related technologies from various IBM development and research labs. The demos and functions of the ETTK run on both Linux and Windows® operating systems.
How does it work?
The basic software components needed to experiment with and create Web services and autonomic programs are provided with the ETTK. Included is an architectural overview of autonomic technologies, Web services, sample programs, utility services, and some tools that are helpful in developing and deploying autonomic programs and Web services. The toolkit also includes a fully-functioning SOAP and grid infrastructure. ETTK includes a fully-functioning SOAP engine and embedded application server.
The IBM Emerging Technologies Toolkit can be used with Windows® 2000, Windows Server 2003, Windows XP, Redhat Enterprise Linux for Intel 2.1, or UnitedLinux 1.0.
