Previous experiments with high-performance Java were initially disappointing. After several years of optimization, this paper investigates the current suitability of such object-o...
The Grid provides infrastructure that allows an arbitrary application to be executed on a range of different computational resources. When input files are very large, or when faul...
Abstract. Ubiquitous computing is a challenge for the design of middleware. The reasons are resource constraints, mobility, heterogeneity, etc., just to name a few. We argue that s...
We propose a middleware for automated implementation of security protocols for Web services. The proposed middleware consists of two main layers: the communication layer and the se...
The layered architecture of middleware platforms (such as CORBA, SOAP, J2EE) is a mixed blessing. On the one hand, layers provide services such as demarshaling, session management...
