This paper presents an evaluation framework for middleware designs on wireless sensor networks (WSNs). There is lots of existing middleware solutions for WSNs; we introduced middleware approaches and classified them into logical categories according to mechanisms. Based on our evaluation criteria, existing middleware solutions are compared and analyzed in this paper. The evaluation result shows...

An innovative middleware transparent approach to developing distributed applications is presented. The approach uses an aspect-oriented software development technique to separate an application’s middlewareindependent functionality from its middleware-specific functionality. Application elements that are specific to the middleware are localized in aspects that can be seamlessly integrated into ...

Distributed applications require specific middleware support for semantics and run-time constraints for a wide range of hardware or software configurations. However, their full specifications and existing implementations show they share functional notions and run-time mechanisms. Thus, distribution infrastructures could be prototyped from a given set of middleware components. Generic middleware...
