It is not original to me.  I first ran across it in reference to
Demo's project, but its not original to him either (its a rather old
model, going back at least to the late 1960's).

Sorry, I'm not currently aware of and canned or academic references
to it.  Then again, I've not looked for one.  Please report back if
you find anything interesting.

If you are really married to Java as a development platform I would
tend towards either Solaris/SPARC or AIX/PPC as a development
platform.  Ultra 30's can be had for under US$1,000 these days, and
decent AIX boxen are about the same price.  Part of this preference
is based on a generally dim view of Microsoft products, along with
the more simple fact that MS will no longer support or ship Java or
a JVMs on or with their products (IIRC).

I know they would be able to under Solaris/SPARC.  YMWV elsewhere.
