Description
Summary:Experience in developing software, especially for interactive networked applications, shows there is no single solution; rather a grab bag of technologies has to be developed and packaged to provide the required flexibility and functionality to address software problems like maintainability and requirements evolution. Adaptive middleware is a central technology for the future pervasive Web. Middleware provides an abstract interface that gives an application developer a uniform view of low-level operating systems and networks. The 6 articles in this special section represent leading-edge and novel directions in research on next-generation middleware technologies.
