Abstract
We present the design and implementation of the ``Ninja
Jukebox'', an infrastructural service that allows a community of users to
build a distributed, collaborative music repository that delivers digital
music to Internet clients, and that performs simple collaborative filtering
based on users' song preferences inferred by the service. The Jukebox,
implemented in Java, was designed to allow rapid service evolution and
reconfiguration, simplicity in participation, and extensibility. We
demonstrate that our careful use of a distributed component architecture
enabled rapid prototyping of the service, and that our use of carefully
designed, strongly typed interfaces enabled the smooth evolution of the
service from a simple prototype to a more complex, mature system.
