A distributed middleware for applications of the Internet of Things

Wireless systems being event-driven by reading passive RFID tags, detecting proximity of multiple active RFID tags, or dereferencing data coded in optical identification tags are often designed and implemented for its specific usage. This paper introduces a middleware application that decouples event detection, its forwarding to designated receivers, and action triggering at a consumer allowing multi-purpose usage for different applications in heterogeneous architectures e.g. identifying objects in the term Internet of Things.
