Abstract

Middleware is a software layer providing abstractions for applications. In this chapter, we explain foundations of middleware, present production middleware (ProMid), a middleware for networked production and control systems that is part of the ProNet 4.0 protocol stack [1], survey and compare related work, and draw conclusions.
