Abstract

As the platform for wide-area distributed applications, the middleware architecture should support adaptability, scalability, mobility, reliability and security. However, current middleware solutions cannot meet these requirements. The middleware architecture, called MSWADA, is presented in this paper. It is designed for large-scale distributed systems. We focus especially on how MSWADA supports adaptability, scalability and mobility.

Developing next-generation distributed applications with QoS enabled DPE middleware

This article describes how recent advances in distributed object computing middleware are enabling the creation of common quality-of-service capabilities that support next-generation distributed applications. DOC middleware helps to simplify and ...
Supporting high-performance I/O in QoS-enabled ORB middleware

To be an effective platform for high-performance distributed applications, off-the-shelf Object Request Broker (ORB) middleware, such as CORBA, must preserve communication-layer quality of service (QoS) properties both vertically (i.e., network ...
