Abstract:
In this review, we address the importance of field i.e. Middleware Technology; a mediate between more than one distributed web application and client based desktop application for efficient data exchange and resource sharing. While describing the technological contributions of Middleware Technologies in detail, we present some of its major technologies i.e. Web Service, GRID Computing, Open Service Grid Infrastructure, which are involved in web, embedded and enterprise application development e.g. Portals, E-Science and E-Learning Platforms, Games etc. Furthermore, in this review paper, we present new Middleware Technology concepts i.e. Web Grid Service and Chain Web Grid Service. Going into the details, we present the conceptual architecture of newly proposed concepts along with information of implementation using existing web technologies, scripts and programming languages.
