Middleware as a mission enabler for Mars exploration
Effective midleware can improve the capability of business and science applications in several ways, e.g., by hiding platform heterogeneity or by providing standard shared services which reduce the complexity or increase the capability of every application. Recent successes in midleware, such as multi-tier client/server and web-based architectures, have fueled phenomenal growth in enterprise level applications, which provide better integration and more rapid adaptability of business in many fields.
