Abstract
We address in general the problem of providing a methodological and notational support for the development at the design level of applications based on the use of a middleware. In order to keep the engineering support at the appropriate level of abstraction, we formulate our proposal within the frame of Model Driven Architecture (MDA). We advocate the introduction of an intermediate abstraction level (between PIM and the PSM), called ASM for Architecture Specific Model, which is particularly suited to abstract away the basic common architectural features of different platforms. In particular, we consider the middlewares supporting a peer-to-peer architecture, because of the growing interest in mobile applications with nomadic users and the presence of many proposals of peer-to-peer middlewares.
