Posted on: Wednesday, 7 May 2008, 00:00 CDT

Sentilla, a leading provider of pervasive computing solutions, today announced its Java technology pervasive computing platform was named a 2008 Duke's Choice Award winner by James Gosling during a ceremony at the JavaOne conference in San Francisco. The award recognizes the best-of-the-best in the world of Java technology development. Gosling presented the award to Joe Polastre, co-founder and chief technology officer at Sentilla, during the Duke's Choice Awards Ceremony held this evening at the world's biggest Java technology event.

"Each year at JavaOne the most innovative Java technologies with the Duke's Choice Award are recognized," said Dave Hofert, group marketing manager, Java SE and Embedded/Real-Time at Sun Microsystems. "Sentilla's technology opens up very small computers to millions of Java software developers. Sentilla's Java-based platform running on billions of intelligent connected computers is making the universe the computer."

Winners of the Duke's Choice Awards are selected by Gosling and Sun's Java technology leadership team. Judging is based on the innovation and creativity of the Java technology-based applications and services, including Web applications and tools, mobile applications and services, games, and card-based applications.

"We are honored to see our software platform receive this prestigious award," said Joe Polastre, co-founder and chief technology officer of Sentilla Corporation. "Sentilla's platform removes the barriers to pervasive computing so that today's developers can build applications for billions of tiny computers. Winning the Duke's Choice Award is a testament to Sentilla's world-class technology and the impact Sentilla is having on the entire Java technology ecosystem."

Sentilla produces a Java Platform Micro Edition (Java ME)-based platform that powers computers roughly the size of a dime. These tiny wireless devices are specifically engineered for applications with very low power requirements, networked operations and remote deployments. Whether saving money, saving lives or saving the planet, Sentilla is the brain that determines when real-time actuation is required. Potential applications are limited only by the imagination of the Java software development community.

Sentilla's award-winning Java technology is being featured in the Java Playground in the JavaOne Pavilion during the event and will be on display in Sentilla's booth in the Startup Exhibitor Alley, Booth 1224-2.
