An Optimized Message-Oriented Middleware Solution for Extending Enterprise Services to the Mobile Domain

The extension of services from the enterprise domain to the mobile infrastructure offers many attractive business cases for software companies. However, accomplishing this task poses many problems, which mainly stem from the differences of the environments and limited resources of the mobile terminals. One of the problems is application middleware frameworks applied in the Enterprise systems, which are difficult to be extended to the mobile domain. This paper presents a binary-based message-oriented middleware (MOM) solution to bridge the gap between the enterprise and mobile domains. Requirements for the proposal have been gathered from a mobile business case to be realized. The main advantage of the solution is the minimization of overhead compared to text-based approaches. Also reusability aspects of the solution have been discussed. The proposal can be seen as an alternative to the compressing the payload, when low cost access to mobile services with mobile devices with limited capabilities is considered as a requirement
