Middleware Challenges Ahead

Middleware research and development has reached the end of its first major phase, and new requirements are arising that are so fundamentally different that they will lead to new-generation middleware systems. Facing dynamic modifications in distributed systems technology, middleware developers are striving to support applications that meet the technical challenges of ubiquitous computing.
