DESCRIPTION:Project Sun SPOT\, run by Sun Labs\, has produced a small low-
 cost battery-powered computing device that can be connected to a variety o
 f transducers and can communicate wirelessly with similar devices (sunspot
 world). It runs a Java operating system\, and both device drivers and appl
 ications are written in Java. This is unusual - software for these kinds o
 f devices is typically written in C or C-like languages. \n\nThe nature of
  these devices opens up a whole new field of possible applications. The pu
 rpose of this session is to expose participants to the possibilities\, and
  demonstrate some applications that explore this space. Participants in an
  application building workshop at SPA2006 had enormous fun with the device
 s. \n\nCome and see how to Program The World! \n\n"Click here to register
