Computer system
Middleware is
| “ | software [that] relies on the interfaces provided by the underlying operating system while simultaneously exposing its own APIs to developers.[1] | ” |
| “ | software that allows software applications running on separate computer systems to communicate and exchange data.[2] | ” |
Middleware is also defined as any programming that serves to "glue together," mediate between, or enhance two separate and usually already existing programs. A common application of middleware is to allow programs written for access to a particular database to access other databases.
RFID system
Middleware is software that aggregates and filters data collected by RFID readers and possibly passes the information to an enterprise subsystem database. Middleware may also responsible for monitoring and managing RFID readers. Middleware hides the complexity and implementation details of the RF subsystem from the analytic systems. This allows the developers and users of the analytic systems to focus on the business implications of RFID data rather than the intricacies of wireless communication.
