This document discusses a seminar on Java Card, which allows programs written in Java to run on smart cards. It describes what a Java Card is, its architecture, development process, advantages like interoperability and security, and limitations such as restricted memory and lack of some Java features. Applications of Java Cards mentioned include SIM cards, ID cards, and financial cards. The conclusion states that widespread adoption of Java Card will require more promotion, applications, and tools, but that the number of Java Cards could reach millions in the next few years.

24. Java cards have very restricted resources
1.Limited Memory
2.Limited Computing Power
Java Card doesn’t support some of java features
1.Large primitive data types : long, double, float
2.char,string
3.Multidimensional array
4.Dynamic class loading
5.Garbage collection
6.Multithreading
7.Object Cloning

25.  The Java Card adds a new platform to the world of Java.
 Widespread adoption and deployment of the Java Card will
require marketing promotion, more applications and tools
development, and time.
 At the same time, the number of Java Cards in existence could
easily extend into the millions within the next few years.
