Short description
Presenting a unified treatment of three core topical areas (messaging, publish/subscribe, and data synchronization), Mobile Middleware provides a comprehensive overview of mobile middleware technology, including architectural patterns, middleware layering, data presentation, specific technological solutions, and standardization. The authors focus on both standards and research systems, including current state-of-the-art systems such as Symbian, Java 2 Micro Edition, and W3C technologies. The book provides systems architects, researchers, system developers, and graduate students with an insight into middleware architecture design and the well-known and useful design patterns.
