Abstract

One of the most significant limitations of currentmiddleware platforms, both commercial and research, isthat they typically support only a small, pre-defined, setof fundamental binding types (e.g., remote methodinvocation). This restriction limits the scope of platformsin that they cannot easily accommodate, or easily beextended to accommodate, richer or more specialisedforms of interaction (e.g. events, media streaming,multicast, and many others discussed in the paper). Thispaper describes a highly extensible, component-orientedframework for the definition and implementation of suchbinding types. We motivate and specify the framework indetail and evaluate it by providing examples of its use.
