See http://www.ibm.com/embedded/ for IBM tools for "pervasive" computing.
Centered arround Java of course.

Thinking to it, there's something i don't understand with Java
embedded.
You have a remote machine with a JVM running, fine.
Since the applets you download on this remote machine are only running
inside the JVM, what can they really do, except stealing CPU cycles ?
At one time or another, you have to interact with the remote machine,
thus breaking the portability of your applet. In this case, what is
the JVM good for ?

you have a JVM with some classes relating to the particular machine
embedded in ROM.
Programs that you download to it talk to those classes.
