“…For having a secure system we must consider confidentially, integrity and availability. Therefore, middleware should provide different security measures for ubiquitous applications and pervasive environment such as authentication where identification and credentials, authorized modifications and access control policy are needed for verification and managements in accountability [21]. Privacy means all IoT system components that access personal user information must guarantee protection of mentioned information from unauthorized access.…”

The next wave of communication and applications rely on the new services provided by Internet of Things which is becoming an important aspect in human and machines future. The IoT services are a key solution for providing smart environments in homes, buildings and cities. In the era of a massive number of connected things and objects with a high grow rate, several challenges have been raised such as management, aggregation and storage for big produced data. In order to tackle some of these issues, cloud computing emerged to IoT as Cloud of Things (CoT) which provides virtually unlimited cloud services to enhance the large scale IoT platforms. There are several factors to be considered in design and implementation of a CoT platform. One of the most important and challenging problems is the heterogeneity of different objects. This problem can be addressed by deploying suitable "Middleware". Indeed, Middleware sits between things and applications that make a reliable platform for communication among things with different interfaces, operating systems, and architectures. The main aim of this paper is to study the middleware technologies for CoT. Toward this end, we first present the main features and characteristics of middlewares. Next we study different architecture styles and service domains. Then we presents several middlewares that are suitable for CoT based platforms and lastly a list of current challenges and issues in design of CoT based middlewares is discussed.

“…However, very limited research and development efforts were conducted in this regard. Meantime, a number of security middleware solutions were developed for other types of distributed systems such as ubiquitous applications [17]. These solutions provide a useful base for developing and operating ubiquitous applications.…”

Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) are being developed to provide useful interactions between physical systems and environments and cyber world for a variety of applications. CPS are designed with a set of software and interconnected distributed hardware components that are linked with physical elements to provide advanced monitoring and control mechanisms geared towards enhancing the targeted physical system or environment. These components function seamlessly to offer specific functionalities that help enhance human lives, physical system operations and environments. While CPS can offer many smart enhancements for improving physical processes, the development of such complex systems composed of many distributed and heterogeneous components is extremely difficult. This is due to the many communication, computing, and networking challenges. Using an appropriate middleware that provides a framework to support developing and operating diverse CPS applications is a novel method to address these challenges. The availability of advanced middleware services and platforms can provide effective approaches for enhancing CPS application development processes as well as provide more robust environments for operating CPS applications. Such middleware can significantly reduce the time needed to design, build, test, and operate robust CPS applications. However, designing a common middleware platform for diverse types of CPS applications is not trivial. This paper investigates the middleware challenges for CPS, based on the different types of CPS applications being developed and their specific challenges. In addition, the paper discusses the current efforts of developing middleware platforms for CPS and the open research issues in the field.

“…Zhang et al (2010) present an approach to combine the power of BDI practical reasoning and OWL/ SWRL ontologies theoretical reasoning in order to improve the intelligence of pervasive middleware, supported by a set of SelfManagement Pervasive Service (SeMaPS) ontologies featuring dynamic context, complex context and self-management rules modelling. AI-Jaroodi et al (2010) review some representative security middleware approaches and highlight their various properties, characteristics and challenges.…”

Nowadays, numerous journals and conferences have published articles related to ubiquitous commerce (u-commerce), indicating many researchers' interest. Therefore, the goal of this paper is to review the works that were published in journals and conferences, suggest a new classification framework of ubiquitous commerce research and explore each feature of classification framework. This paper is based on a literature review of ubiquitous commerce research from 2000 to 2010 using a keyword index and paper title search. The 209 articles are classified and results of these are presented, based on a framework that consists of five distinct layers: theory and research layer, network infrastructure layer, technology infrastructure layer, application layer and user infrastructure layer. This paper allows researchers to extract several lessons learned that are important for the ubiquitous commerce research. and Engineering) from the Wuhan University. His research and consulting interests include mobile commerce, ubiquitous commerce, context-aware computing and electronic library. His publications have appeared in Int. J. Mobile Communications, Program: electronic library and information systems, The Electronic Library and in the proceedings of some international conferences.
