The libraries for the Indus programming language are segmented according to classes of target host platforms ? enterprise platforms, mobile hosts and motes. Standard Indus libraries provide services to deployed agents and components such as activation strategies, lifecycle management, service discovery, routing, communications, interoperability, transaction management, persistence and security. Indus Enterprise libraries are used to enable provision of grid services to agents deployed on enterprise platforms. Indus Micro libraries are used to enable provision of services to agents deployed on mobile hosts. Indus Mote libraries are used to enable provision of services such as timer, power and interrupt management, etc to agents hosted on mote platforms.

Indus applications compile to byte code that can be interpreted by a Virtual Machine (VM) and is suitable for execution on enterprise platforms. In case of mobile hosts, Indus compiles to C code and binary executables that are managed by the Indus Micro run time. In the case of motes, the Indus compiler generates code targeted at the device platform.
