To free analysts from knowing about the internal details of middleware when evaluating the performance of component-based system (CBS), this paper proposes a framework to automatically integrate middleware component interactions and their performance attributes to application Unified Model Language (UML) model. The framework defines a general sub-model template library of middleware, a middlewa...

In this paper we propose a middleware infrastructure adapted for supporting scientific visualization applications over a Grid environment. We instantiate a middleware system from CoDIMS, which is an environment for the generation of Configurable Data integration Middleware Systems. CoDIMS adaptive architecture is based on the integration of special components managed by a control module that ex...

Nowadays, middleware technologies are the main infrastructure to support component-based programming. To meet the dynamic configuration requirements of several application classes, middleware systems like CORBA and DCOM provide some reflective mechanisms, such as interface introspection, dynamic dispatching, and message interceptors. Recent evolution of CORBA and DCOM emphasizes the importance ...

This paper describes a middleware architecture for distributed automotive systems that supports dynamic load balancing of tasks. Load balancing could be applied if an external device is added to the vehicle. The middleware architecture has to deal with the fusion of such non-built-in devices. An important factor to set up such a system is the identification of the requirements that should be ha...
