网络计算中间件

网络计算中间件是随着互联网的发展而于20世纪90年代兴起的一类基础软件,网络计算中间件为各种网络应用系统的开发、部署、运行和管理提供了有力支持.随着信息网络技术和软件服务工程的快速发展,网络计算中间件又被赋予了新的内涵,首先从网络计算环境出发,就基础中间件、应用集成中间件和领域应用框架的基本概念和主要技术作较全面的诠释；然后聚焦于云计算和物联网等网络计算的热点研究方向,从中间件的角度指出当前值得关注的某些挑战性研究课题和需要深入探索的若干关键技术.

Network Computing Middleware

Middleware is a kind of fundamental software that boomed in 1990s with the rapid development of computer networks. Its main function is to effectively support the development, deployment, operation and management of the network application software systems. With a new connotation, the network computing middleware has encountered a breakthrough of information networks technology and service-oriented software engineering. The former part of this paper, which starts with the network computing environment, gives a comprehensive interpretation on the basic concepts and main technologies of basic middleware, application integration middleware and domain application framework; the second half focuses on hot research topics such as cloud computing, Internet of things, and indicates a number of concerned research directions as well as several challenges and key technologies that need deep exploration from the point view of middleware.
