Middleware is software that connects applications running on different operating systems and networks. It provides services that allow applications to communicate with each other by hiding the complexity of the operating systems and networks. Common types of middleware include remote procedure calls, message-oriented middleware, object request brokers, and transaction processing monitors. Middleware is used by many large companies like IBM and Oracle and provides benefits such as increased flexibility, reduced costs, and improved management of IT services.

- 4. Consists of a set of enabling services
- 5. Allow multiple processes running on one or more machines to interact with each other
- 6. Middleware services are sets of distributed software

- 16. B enefits # Increase business flexibility and decrease IT complexity # Reduce the costs of business integration # Simplify integration through IBM lifecycle methodologies and tool expertise # Improve the management of infrastructures
- 17. Cont... * Improve time to value and make the most of existing technology skills * Increase visibility and improve management and quality of IT services * Create an IT infrastructure designed to address regulatory requirements * Increase the value of existing IT investments * Enhance information availability, quality and value
- 18. Uses... Middleware services provide a more functional set of API to allow an application to: * Locate transparently across the network, thus providing interaction with another service or application * Be independent from network services * Be reliable and always available * Add complementary attributes like semantics
- 19. Types Remote procedure call(RPC)
- 22. Transaction Processing (TP) monitors.
- 23. Remote procedure call An inter-process communication
- 24. Allows a computer program to cause a subroutine or procedure to execute in another address space without the programmer
- 25. Explicitly coding the details for this remote interaction.

- 27. Message passing in RPC An RPC is initiated by the client
- 28. sends a request message to a known remote server to execute a specified procedure with supplied parameters.
- 29. The remote server sends a response to the client,

- 41. MOM MOM is a client / server infrastructure which allows the application to be distributed over multiple heterogeneous platforms.
- 42. Reduces complexity of applications spanning operating systems and network protocols by insulating them from un-necessary details.
- 43. cont.. Data is exchanged by message passing and/or message queuing
- 44. Providing the directory, security, and administrative services required to support messaging.

- 56. Examples of Middleware Database access technology - e.g ODBC (Open DataBase Connectors)
- 57. Java’s database connectivity API : JDBC
- 58. Remote computation products - e.g ONC RPC, OSF RPC and RMI (Java Remote Method Invocation)
- 59. Distributed Computing Environment (DCE) products, Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA), Distributed Component Object Model (DCOM)
- 60. TP - Monitors
- 61. Platforms * Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) * Microsoft .NET * Microsoft .NET Micro Framework * CORBA
- 62. My conclusion Middleware is independent of network services While creating mashup we need to use app server for connecting the browser and client So there may be a chance of bottlenecks For this reason middleware is best for mashup techinques
