In this paper we propose design of a multi-protocol gateway middleware based on USN. The proposed multi-protocol gateway middleware defined the transmit messages format, and were used the USN module interface protocol for connect to external application MCU using the UART. In this case, the gateway was checks the communication state of Zigbee module with settings information, and setting Zigbee serial PDU format. The experimental results of the proposed multi-protocol gateway middleware were proved the efficiency of integrate protocol gateway to use the multi-protocol gateway than gateway to using the repeater through the power control and communications a controlled experiment.

This paper proposes streaming layer for personal robot's middleware. Under assumption that robot has open architecture, i.e. consists of modules created by different vendors and intercommunication between these modules is necessary, we have to consider that there are many different network interfaces. To make communication between modules possible it is necessary to develop new type of middleware. Such middleware has to support different platforms, i.e. OS, network interface, hardware, etc. In addition, it is necessary to implement effective interface between network and application in order to manage inter application communications and use network resources more effectively. Streaming layer is such interface that implements necessary functionality together with simplicity and portability. Streaming layer provides high level of abstraction and makes communication between distributed applications transparent as if are located in same module. With possibility of extension by user defined application interfaces it is suitable for distributed environments, i.e. module based architecture including small-embedded systems like as DSP board. To verify the proposed streaming layer structure it is implemented using C and tested.

Recently, use of Smartphones is growing at an extremely rapid pace. Many researchers have recognized the importance of developing Smartphones applications under these circumstances, and they have been conducted many studies to develop apps efficiently. The Smartphones middleware has become a focus of recent research to develop efficient Smartphones apps on a server-client environment in particular. In this study, for enhancing portability, expandability and convenience in the development of apps on the various platforms of Smartphones, We have proposed XML based Open API optimized in the Smartphones middleware. We also evaluated the performance, by applying it in Smartphone middleware environment.

According to the development of home-network, home-network middleware supporting interoperability between devices connecting to home-network has been variously Proposed. As a typical middleware, UPnP and Jini are developed individually. So, to extend the usage of home-network, it is necessary to have connections among various home-network middleware. In this paper, we study about home-network middleware UPnP and Jini, and design and implement UPnP-to-Jini service which allows Jini client to use UPnP device using the speciality of UPnP performance process. Using application of light on-off we implemented the connection of them.

A middleware in grid computing environment is required to support seamless on-demand services over diverse resource situations in order to meet various user requirements [1]. Since grid computing applications need situation-aware middleware services in this environment. In this paper, we propose a semantic middleware architecture to support dynamic software component reconfiguration based fault and service ontology to provide fault-tolerance in a grid computing environment. Our middleware includes autonomic management to detect faults, analyze causes of them, and plan semantically meaningful strategies to recover from the failure using pre-defined fault and service ontology trees. We implemented a referenced prototype, Web-service based Application Execution Environment(Wapee), as a proof-of-concept, and showed the efficiency in runtime recovery.

In the current RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification) middleware systems based on the EPCglobal standard, the tag data received by multiple readers are processed sequentially in FIFO (First In First Out) order. Considering the priority of RFID reader makes the RFID system more flexible and improve the data transaction throughput in the service environment where important tag data with high priority for a specific reader. In this study, we propose a new RFID middleware system architecture supporting priority service with the Buffer Management Component. Our proposals are compliant with the EPCglobal ALE (Application Level Events) standard interface for middleware systems and their clients. To verify the efficiency of this proposed system, simulation is used for evaluation.

Proportionately with a rapid development of mobile instrument technology, the number of mobile contents utilizing computing environment's graphic technology or image processing is increasing. In this paper, I designed a middleware which supports facial detection and recognition system based WIPI(Wireless Internet Platform for Interoperability), the Korean standard mobile platform. The facial recognition middleware introduced the object oriented concepts, to apply to recognition security and other contents by using mobile camera. This can reduce the development time and cost by dividing process while developing software. Therefore, it would be applied to content security or technology transfer with other company. Facial recognition middleware system is composed of face detection module and face recognition module, and proposes the application contents design method based on WIPI platform.

In this paper, we suggest the active multi-agent middleware for the sensor network application. For this, firstly we design and implement the active rule based mobile agent middleware. The mobile agent in the proposed system visits the destination sensor nodes according to the migration list offered by the meta table in the name space of the naming agent, acquires and transmits sensor data according to the purpose and needs through the active rules, and directly executes the actions corresponding to the optional events(changed sensor data and/or time etc.). And then, we show the potential applicability of the active rule based mobile agent middleware in various active sensor networks through the interaction with the rule base system and context database system.

Due to its potential, the Internet of Things (IoT) begins to be used in the industrial field. Nevertheless, although the concept called the Industrial Internet of Things does not know a widely accepted definition, it is based on the existing technology, and introduces the IoT in the industrial environment through the compliance with specific additional requirements and by integrating various fieldbuses with distinctive features, from the real-time point of view. The aim of this paper is to propose a practical architecture for the Industrial Internet of Things. The proposed architecture is designed around the Data Distribution Service for Real Time System (DDS) middleware protocol, and it is organized on four levels. Between these levels, it is defined standard interface, and they can be developed independently. For this reason, the architecture is scalable because at the middleware level, the DDS can be replaced by other middleware systems. At the final, it is performed a comparison between several middleware systems used in the proposed architecture.

In this paper, we introduce about the implementation of geospatial database middleware for construction of next generation digital map. This middleware supports global transactions based on the distributed and heterogeneous data store circumstance, geospatial data processing which does not follow standard, global schema management, object management based UFID and large scale data process. In addition, this supports creating, managing, calling for user defined procedures that can help making business logic of middleware user. User defined procedure interface is designed using CORBA and RMI protocol. In this paper, we describe the implementation of distributed object oriented database middleware which use variable data store.
