Abstract

The number of distributed applications developed atop mobile wireless ad hoc networks (MANET) is rapidly increasing. At the same time, middleware systems that provide services and communication facilities to these applications have become popular. Like other distributed environments, the development of middleware systems is not a trivial task. However, this complexity increases when the middleware must execute in a MANET due to a dynamic number of members, intermittent connectivity, bandwidth variation, device heterogeneity and so on. In this context, we propose a middleware framework, named Spontaneousware, specially designed for aiding developers in the middleware systems development for MANET. In order to define a high-level specification for this framework, the requirements and architecture were documented.
