Abstract:

This paper contains a preliminar study on the most appropriate communication middleware to be used in the MALLBA project. Since our goal is to deliver a user friendly and geographically distributed optimization system we must analyze several issues on the best ways of building such a middleware. First, we review the potential advantages and drawbacks of some existing communication models and tools. Then, we discuss on the services required by our optimization system and give a possible service definition for the middleware. Finally, the integration of the proposed middleware and the optimization skeleton being devised is studied with the aim of providing an integral solution to distributed optimization systems. 1
