The Research on Context Aware Middleware Systems

[[abstract]]The progress of national information infrastructure in Taiwan is toward wireless communication environment. Owing to the availability of wireless access, context-aware applications become one of the most promising areas in these years. However various types of wireless sensors, complicated network environment, and various types of application services should be integrated through context aware middleware. Therefore, the study of context aware middleware systems is gaining lots of attentions in recent years. This project is to develop a context aware middleware system. The system is developed to integrate multiple context information. The integration is supported by SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) technology. The client-side module integrates five types of context data. The server-side middleware provides multiple context-aware data processing and dynamically transfers to multiple context aware applications and services
