- A Research on MIDDLEWARE FOR DISTRIBUTED SYSTEMS: ITS PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE
Background Information:
In the early days, people saw no need for middleware in distributed systems. With the evolution of distributed systems from handling relatively simple and specific tasks in a homogenous network to dealing with complex and various activities in a vast heterogeneous environment, it is middleware that makes modern distributed systems perform effectively and more efficiently. The evolution should continue with the rapid increase in networked activities in peoples’ daily life, which will drive not only the further expansion of middleware in its current territory, but also the middleware technology to some new domains in the future.
