Abstract
A QoS middleware provides the Quality of Service support required by many QoS sensitive applications. The QoS middleware is between a host and a QoS-enabled infrastructure and hides the complexity of the extra functionality behind a set of APIs. This article presents the AQUILA QoS middleware, a QoS API to implement QoS-aware applications, a QoS Portal based on application specifications and Proxies to provide legacy non QoS-aware applications with QoS.
This work was partially funded by the European Union under contract number IST-1999-10077 “AQUILA”.
