In this paper, we present the experiment we have conducted to evaluate the suitability of Java cards for advanced applications. We developed a resource-consuming application in a Java card using only the specified Java Card environment, and noted which missing features could have been useful to improve the functionalities of our application or to ease its development. We then propose new system services to improve the Java Card environment.
