Abstract :
The development of middleware has emerged as an area of expanding research, focused on the integration of services available for distributed applications. In this context, many challenges have also arisen with the use of middleware, such as communication, flexibility, performance, as well as integration with the Web and the computer itself. The development of middleware for mobile computing poses new challenges to developers because of the limitations of mobile devices. Thus, these developers must understand the new mobile computing and middleware technologies in order to integrate them. The objective of this work is to develop a service-oriented context-aware middleware for real-time data management in real-time using mobile devices.
