Distributed Computing:

Many of the paradigms that we looked at involve middleware, a software module that serves as an intermediary among the participants of an application.

Consider the publish/subscribe message system model. How does the middleware in the paradigm allow publish/subscribe?

How might a middleware program allow cross-platform support?

How might a middleware program provide asynchronous interprocess communication?

Which of the paradigms involves middleware? Explain.
