Abstract: Middleware is a growing, multidisciplinary area that merges knowledge from diverse areas such as distributed systems, networks and, more recently, embedded systems. This paper presents the results of an extensive review of middleware related literature, and presents an overview

to support context-aware applications. Our middleware system, Solar, treats contextual data sources as stream publishers and the core of Solar is a scalable and self-organizing peer-to-peer overlay to support data-driven services. We present how different services could be systematically integrated on top

into webs of relationships with other VCs. Once they have invested in a company, VCs draw on their networks of service providers -head hunters, patent lawyers, investment bankers etc. -to help the company succeed (Gorman and Sahlman (1989), While the prevalence of networking in many financial markets has

of this research is to decrease in the labor processing time and reduce data loose hard error, and to provide business more flexible services for a speedy response to demand, and to solve the problem of information multi-heterogeneous system. The RFID middleware platform of this research read 1 transaction

and a systematic study of the communication/computation trade-offs. The middleware should provide functionality to support service execution, discovery and migration and should be able to score well on three criteria: portability, security, and performance. To achieve this goal, we have implemented

J2EE is a middleware architecture augmented with supporting tools for developing large scale client/server and multi-tier applications. J2EE uses Enterprise JavaBeans as its component model. The realization of these components by a J2EE application server can be conceptually decomposed

of service-based systems, (b) collecting evidence about current research that suggests implications for practice, and (c) identifying open problems and areas for improvement. Method: A systematic literature review with an automated search was conducted. The review included studies published between the year

significant global public health problem with known gender-related (male versus female) disparities. We reviewed the qualitative evidence (written/spoken narrative) for gender-related differences limiting TB service access from symptom onset to treatment initiation.Methods. Following a systematic process, we

that the deployment and configuration process requires the combined expertise from multiple domains such as application, middleware, network, security, reliability, and performance. We review the model-based tools available today to manage the configuration complexity of these applications and introduce a new tool

Abstract—Wireless Sensor Network technologies are maturing into industrial applicability, but the availability of broadly supported architectures and integration of existing standards is still lagging behind. As a proposal to ameliorate this situation, we consider the OMG Data Distribution Service
