N2 - Current middleware technologies cannot meet the demands of new application areas, such as embedded and mobile systems, that require mechanisms for dealing with a changing environment. This article reviews several approaches for providing adaptive resource management for middleware. Current middleware technologies, such as the Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) and .NET (http://msdn.microsoft.com/net), mask system and network heterogeneity problems and alleviate the inherent complexity of distributed systems in many application areas. However, the recent emergence of new application areas for middleware, such as embedded systems, real-time systems, and multimedia, imposes challenges that few existing middleware platforms can meet. In particular, because they impose greater resource-sharing and dynamism demands, these application areas require more complex and sophisticated middleware. Resource sharing must be controlled and predictable to ensure that activities running on the same middleware instance have adequate resources.
