Position Summary. Middleware for Mobile Computing: Awareness vs. Transparency
نویسندگان
چکیده
Middleware solutions for wired distributed systems cannot be used in a mobile setting, as mobile applications impose new requirements that run counter to the principle of transparency on which current middleware systems have been built. We propose the use of reflection capabilities and meta-data to pave the way for a new generation of middleware platforms designed to support mobility.

Middleware for Mobile Computing: Awareness vs. Transparency
In this paper we argue that middleware solutions for wired distributed systems cannot be used in a mobile setting. We show that mobile applications impose new requirements that run counter to the principles on which current middleware systems have been built. We propose the use of reflection capabilities and meta-data to pave the way for a new generation of middleware platforms designed to supp...
متن کاملDealing with Uncertainty in Mobile Publish/Subscribe Middleware
Because of its loose coupling between event producers and consumers, publish/subscribe (pub/sub) middleware has many advantages when implementing systems for spontaneous, ad-hoc, pervasive applications. One main aspect of such applications is device mobility, but unfortunately, most of the current pub/sub systems do not adequately support mobile clients. Mobility has two orthogonal aspects: phy...
متن کاملReconfigurable Context-Sensitive Middleware for Pervasive Computing
A principal goal of pervasive computing is to make the actual computing part of it and its enabling technologies essentially transparent.1–3 This transparency is partially possible because a pervasive computing environment is a collection of embedded, wearable, and handheld devices wirelessly connected, possibly to fixed network infrastructures such as the Internet. Devices in such environments...
متن کاملTowards A Mobile Computing Middleware: A Synergy of Reflection and Mobile Code Techniques
In the past decade, middleware technologies built on top of network operating systems have greatly enhanced the design and implementation of distributed applications. In particular, they succeeded in hiding away many requirements introduced by distribution, such as heterogeneity, fault tolerance, resource sharing, and the like, from application developers, offering them an image of the distribu...
متن کاملAmbient Middleware for Context-Awareness (AMiCA)
Recent advances in wireless networking technologies and the growing success of mobile computing devices are enabling new classes of applications which present challenging problems for designers. Distributed applications running in a mobile environment are often subject to widely varying qualities of service from the underlying infrastructure. The objective of the work outlined in this research ...
