Abstract: With the growing of network， middleware is playing an important role in the development， deployment and management of typical applications. Although researchers have different understanding with middleware， there are still many developing opportunities left for middleware， especially when the changing computing environment is driving the increase of new technologies. This paper presents a perspective of middleware and proposes further a novel evolution model for next generation middleware.

摘要： 随着网络的发展，中间件在应用的开发、部署和管理中扮演着越来越重要的角色。因为中间件的类型复杂，关于中间件的认知众说纷纭，而新一代计算环境和技术又对中间件提出了新的要求。针对中间件技术的演化提出了一种观点，并阐述了支持Internetware的下一代中间件系统的演化模型。
