DIMM: Framework for interoperability of data centric mobile middlewares

Abstract

Each data-centric mobile middleware has an unique abstraction of the data. They vary in data format, mode of operation etc. As each of these middlewares has some advantage over others, it is important to establish interoperability among these. There might be application-level interconnection among these components. But that is disadvantageous. In this paper DIMM (Data-centric Interoperable Mobile Middleware) is proposed as a framework to build an interoperable middleware. It handles all the headaches related to different underlying middlewares at different devices.
