Road to Java

Article Abstract:

Australia's Roads and Traffic Authority (RTA) is one of the largest users of Sun Microsystem's JavaStation thin client technology. JavaStation employs an operating system called Java, designed to be more portable and flexible than Microsoft's Windows applications. Java software was designed so the JavaStations could continue to run older RTA software, thus minimizing the cost of the new system.
