Middleware systems have emerged to support applications in heterogeneous and ubiquitous computing environments. Specifically, future middleware platforms are expected to provide quality of service support, which is required by a new generation of QoS-sensitive applications such as media streaming and e-commerce. This article presents four key aspects of a QoS-aware middleware system: QoS specification to allow description of application behavior and QoS parameters; QoS translation and compilation to translate specified application behavior into candidate application configurations for different resource conditions; QoS setup to appropriately select and instantiate a particular configuration; and finally, QoS adaptation to adapt to runtime resource fluctuations. We also provide a comparison of existing QoS-aware middleware systems in these four aspects
