A Flexible, Lightweight Middleware Supporting the Development of Distributed Applications across Platforms

Abstract

Middleware supporting the development of distributed systems has been produced since the beginnings of the Internet. With the emergence of mobile computing new requirements for this kind of middleware arise since the scenario for mobile computing is very different from the desktop computing one. Nowadays, because increasing ubiquitous computing, new scenarios in which desktop computing application should communicate with mobile application are becoming more and more frequent. In this paper we present a platform which apart of being lightweight and easy to use has also the advantage that it enables the communication of software objects between the most used two platforms for mobile devices: JME using the Java language and .Net using C#.
