Abstract
This presentation is a tutorial and a state of the art in Quality of Service and support for Quality of Service in middleware. It is organized as follow:
-
First, we briefly introduce the problematic of Quality of Service and middleware.
-
The second part, presents concepts handled in Quality of Service to support distributed applications.
-
The third part, shortly presents middleware concepts and how Quality of Service is added in existing middleware implementation. It explains which concepts are common to these implementations.
-
Finally we summerize what is already done in term of QoS Support in middleware, what is expected to come, and what are the unresolved problems that need more work to overcome.
