A middleware design for multiple embedded database systems

Since embedded systems and consumer electronic devices are popular now, they have adopted huge-capacity storage systems such as flash-memory cards or solid-state drives (SSDs). Many embedded database systems(EDBS) also emerge for the maintenance of data on these storage systems. However, it is complicated and time-consuming to modify an application with one embedded database system to a new one with another embedded database system. In the paper, we will design a middleware for multiple embedded database systems by considering their different interfaces and overhead. With the help of the middleware, it is convenient for users to write applications that can easily adopt various embedded database systems. Furthermore, the middleware can leverage various embedded database systems for better performance and reasonable cost.
