Middleware
Middleware is the software 'glue' that sits between the computer operating
system and applications software which is increasingly being distributed
over many machines, e.g. on the Internet. Thus Middleware provides the
software infrastructure for today's networked applications. The LCE are
developing middleware platforms which will be used to support the development
of distributed and mobile applications software.
Possible applications include:
- Hospitals
- Airports
- Security
- Home control
- Amusement parks
Or any other controlled environment with mobile users and a requirement
for context aware communications.
