Abstract

There is an increasing demand for variability and dynamic customization of middleware. Security, a key middleware service, requires variations at design-time, deploy-time as well as runtime. This is hard to achieve with state-of-the-art middleware.

To handle this problem, we applied an SPL approach based on static and dynamic AO-composition in a component-based middleware platform. As proof of concept we developed a prototype with several variations in the security domain. A first evaluation shows that AO and component-based middleware are promising technologies to obtain an SPL.

ARM '07: Proceedings of the 6th international workshop on Adaptive and reflective middleware: held at the ACM/IFIP/USENIX International Middleware Conference

It is widely accepted that middleware is an important architectural element which facilitates the development of software systems. In this paper we propose a novel approach for designing middleware. It is based on hardware motherboards and two distinct ...
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 ...

In this paper we discuss an approach for designing middleware that is based on hardware motherboards. This approach defines middleware with two distinct views: the middleware designer view (MD-view) and the middleware user view (MU-view). Whereas the MD-...
