This book offers a unified treatment of mobile middlewaretechnology
Mobile Middleware: Architecture, Patterns andPracticeprovides a comprehensive overview of mobile middlewaretechnology. The focus is on understanding the key design andarchitectural patterns, middleware layering, data presentation,specific technological solutions, and standardization. The authoraddresses current state of the art systems including Symbian, Java2 Micro Edition, W3C technologies and many others, and features achapter on widely deployed middleware systems. Additionally, thebook includes a summary of relevant mobile middleware technologies,giving the reader an insight into middleware architecture designand well-known, useful design patterns. Several case studies areincluded in order to demonstrate how the presented patterns,solutions, and architectures are applied in practice. The casestudies pertain to mobile service platforms, mobile XML processing,thin clients, rich clients, and mobile servers. Chapters onArchitectures and Platforms, Mobile Messaging, Publish/Subscribe,Data Synchronization and Security are also included.
Key Features:
* Provides a comprehensive overview of mobile middlewaretechnology
* Unified treatment of three core topical areas: messaging,publish/subscribe, and data synchronization
* Discusses the role of middleware in the protocol stack
* Focus on both standards and research systems including currentstate- of-the-art systems such as Symbian, Java 2 Micro Edition,W3C technologies
* Contains concrete examples showing the presented architecturesand solutions in practice
* Includes an accompanying website with links to open sourcesoftware, and other resources
This book serves as an invaluable guide to systems architects,researchers, and developers. It will also be of interest tograduate and undergraduate students studying computer science(distributed systems, computer networks).
