Shrinking timelines, demanding costs and increasing number of features packed into a product; all these have ensured that middleware has become a key component in the design and development of any embedded system today. The main function of any middleware integration or middleware development  is to help make application development simpler. This is achieved by offering common programming abstractions, delivering fundamental operating systems and hardware, and masking low-level programming details.

What is Middleware Integration?

Middleware is the software layer that lies between the operating system and system software, and the user applications. Any software that connects the client application to the kernel can be termed as the middleware. It is hidden software layer consisting of custom-built APIs, and enables end application development and integration with existing programs. Middleware Integration and Development are meant to simplify the job of the application designer and provide a wide variety of functionality.

Middleware integration and development services are a critical part to any product design and development. Middleware integration and middleware development help plan, design, develop, and manage safe, secure, reliable, and compliant platforms. Middleware includes networking protocols, file systems, virtual machines, and databases and more complex middleware like MOM, ORB, and RPC, embedded JVMs, .NET, and CORBA based middleware solutions. Mistral’s Middleware integration and development services allows connection between different end systems, performs data transformation, and application of business logic in complex, embedded systems like telecom, aerospace, defense and other mission-critical industries.

Middleware Development Services

Mistral offers a range of middleware integration and middleware development services that address various product development sub-tasks like power management, media framework, protocol etc. on Android, Embedded Linux, VxWorks, RTEMS and other RTOS platforms.

Mistral’s middleware development and middleware Integration services address activities like device power management, audio and video codecs integration, image and camera framework, media framework customization, test framework development, protocol development, algorithm development and integration, touch screen/display integration and wireless integration. Middleware helps in reducing the complexities in product development and enhance the product performance. Our middleware development and middleware integration services also include integration of third party applications like voice recognition, text-to-speech, gesture tracking among others.

In addition to middleware development and middleware integration services, Mistral also offers a range of middleware integration solutions from RTI, aimed at fast real-time distribution of data. Once such platform is the RTI Data Distribution Service (RTI-DDS). The RTI-DDS is enables middleware integration in real-time systems. Based on a server less software bus, it allows real-time applications to communicate with each other with enterprise and legacy applications.
