Abstract

Middleware for context management can be classified in four categories: distributed middleware systems, peer-to-peer context management systems, federation-based approaches and bridging approaches. Distributed middleware systems natively support distributed context management systems. Peer-to-peer context management systems creates the idea of distributions through connections between pairs of context management systems Bridging approaches use bridges to enable interoperability between pairs of heterogeneous context management systems. These approaches do not support context interest of variable wideness without compromising either the scalability of context management, the generality of context interests, or evolution of the environment’s context providers.
