Abstract

The Middleware is a piece of software lying between the operating system and the application layer. Distributed applications are gaining popularity with the widespread of reliable communication services. It is affordable to have data accessible 24/7 from almost anywhere, thanks to the well-developed mobile technology and handheld devices. Healthcare domain is one of the very demanding application areas that highly benefits from these developments. Actually, health clinic system is an evolving and promising area in which clients can easily log into a distant health clinic server and retrieve, add, or update the data and diagnosis of the patients using Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) Internet Inter-Orb Protocol (IIOP) middleware. In this paper, we describe the development and implementation of a middleware model that utilizes the effective connection between two different programming languages (java and .Net) to send and receive requested patients' data in a very efficient response time. This is achieved by using the reference of the object in the server. Based on our knowledge, our approach has the best response time compared to the existing works in the area. Our approach has been successfully tested and evaluated.
