Workshop on dependable middleware-based systems (WDMS 2002)

Abstract

While middleware technologies are gaining adoption in most application domains, there is still some reluctance in deploying middleware in mission-critical systems with high dependability requirements. This paper provides insights on dependable middleware. Experiences with, and lessons learned in using and testing, dependable middleware in the field are covered. Furthermore, novel research ideas that are on the cutting edge in the design and implementation of dependable middleware are uncovered.
