Abstract :
Middleware research and development has reached the end of its first major phase, and new requirements are arising that are so fundamentally different that they will lead to new-generation middleware systems. Facing dynamic modifications in distributed systems technology, middleware developers are striving to support applications that meet the technical challenges of ubiquitous computing
