Abstract
The domain of distributed services is constantly growing, enabling interoperability between applications that run on different operating systems. The increasing availability and use of wireless mobile devices gave rise to opportunities for new types of mobility-distributed applications. This poster presents the FAmINE4Android middleware, which facilitates the development of service-oriented mobile applications by providing all the necessary mechanism and tools, through a seamless and intuitive Application Programming Interface (API). In addition, it caters for the creation of distributed services by enabling the exposure of software and hardware resources to the service-oriented environment. In order to demonstrate the features of the middleware and its suitability for the inclusion of mobile devices in distributed computing platforms, a mobile museum guide application has been developed as a case study, communicating with a Windows-based person tracking service. The preliminary evaluation of the mobile guide application verified the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed middleware.
