Abstract :
The challenges issued by next-generation mobile communication scenarios clearly emphasize the inadequacy of traditional communication solutions in supporting efficient mobile and pervasive applications. Research so far has focused on higher-layer middleware or on the optimization of TCP-based solutions for wireless environments, but there´s an obvious need to focus on communication middleware that can provide the right set of concepts and tools to support future applications.
