Researches on Key Issues of Mobile Middleware Technology

Recent advances in wireless networking technologies and mobile computing devices have engendered a new paradigm of computing, mobile computing. In the meantime, applications on these mobile devices also present some challenges to software designers. In order to cope with these challenges, many research efforts have been focused on a new middleware system that can support the requirements imposed by mobility. In this paper, we investigate some key issues in mobile middleware systems and introduce several basic concepts related to mobile middleware. In addition, we also discuss the technical requirements that mobile middleware systems have to meet. Finally, we conclude the paper and present the future research direction of mobile middleware system.
