Abstract :
Within a few years, most wireless devices will interconnect across networks to allow information access from anywhere, anytime. This evolution motivates developers to migrate technologies originally developed for PCs to wireless devices. Supporting this effort, however, requires new software -particularly middleware -to power small devices that connect over slow, sometimes unreliable networks. How well can today´s major middleware platforms support wireless access to business applications?.
