Abstract This article introduces a middleware for mobile distributed applications. The platform independent middleware architecture will be presented in general as well as a J2ME realization for mobile phones or PDAs. Starting from use cases which are motivated from a vehicular research project, a general problem domain of vehicular applications will be analyzed. In this scenario mobile nodes, e.g. vehicles, are connected to a back-end system which wants to monitor data of the mobile nodes, e.g. the location (GPS) data of the vehicles. This class of applications will be addressed by the developed middleware, taking the requirements of the mobile communication link into account and reducing the communication amount over the mobile link. The implementation is based on the Web Service middleware framework and uses a rule based data filter logic on the mobile node to reduce already on the application layer the communication frequency on the mobile link. The general middleware architecture will be presented with the focus on the rule based data monitoring service. Finally, a communication cost estimation of the proposed architecture will be presented.
