Abstract
The chapter reports on a new middleware architecture suggested for seamless handover. The middleware is part of an architectural solution suggested by Blekinge Institute of Technology (BTH) for seamless handover, which is implemented at the application layer. This architecture is subject for the PERIMETER STREP and MOBICOME projects, granted by the EU FP7 and EUREKA, respectively. The suggested middleware, called ROMA, represents a software system with two sets of Application Programmer Interface (API), one for application writers and another one for interfacing various overlay and underlay systems. ROMA thus provides a transport-agnostic platform for future Internet applications. The paper provides a short description of the ROMA middleware, with particular focus on API design and address translation.
