Terminology for network policy and services: a report of a workshop on middleware.
2000
An ad hoc middleware workshop was held at the International Center for
Advanced Internet Research in December 1998. The Workshop was
organized and sponsored by Cisco, Northwestern University's
International Center for Advanced Internet Research (iCAIR), IBM, and
the National Science Foundation (NSF). The goal of the workshop was to
identify existing middleware services that could be leveraged for new
capabilities as well as identifying additional middleware services
requiring research and development. The workshop participants
discussed the definition of middleware in general, examined the
applications perspective, detailed underlying network transport
capabilities relevant to middleware services, and then covered various
specific examples of middleware components. These included APIs,
authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) issues, policy
framework, directories, resource management, networked information
discovery and retrieval services, quality of service, security, and
operational tools. The need for a more organized framework for
middleware R&D was recognized, and a list of specific topics needing
further work was identified.
