Abstract :
Cable will soon offer interactive television services. These will be joined in home networks by telephones, Internet appliances, and consumer electronic equipment. Middleware makes it possible to develop a large set of applications and to deliver them on many different hardware and software platforms. Middleware does this by providing such Web standards as HTML, ECMAScript, and Java to develop and deliver applications
