This Book Constitutes The Refereed Proceedings Of The Ifip/acm International Conference On Distributed Systems Platforms, Middleware 2001, Held In Heidelberg, Germany, In November 2001. The 20 Revised Full Papers Presented Were Carefully Reviewed And Selected From A Total Of 116 Submissions. The Papers Are Organized In Topical Sections On Java, Mobility, Distributed Abstractions, Reliability, Home And Office, Scalability, And Quality Of Service. Java -- Automated Analysis Of Java Message Service Providers -- Efficient Object Caching For Distributed Java Rmi Applications -- Entity Bean A, B, C’s: Enterprise Java Beans Commit Options And Caching -- Mobility -- A Wap-based Session Layer Supporting Distributed Applications In Nomadic Environments -- Middleware For Reactive Components: An Integrated Use Of Context, Roles, And Event Based Coordination -- Experiments In Composing Proxy Audio Services For Mobile Users -- Distributed Abstractions -- Thread Transparency In Information Flow Middleware -- Abstracting Services In A Heterogeneous Environment -- An Efficient Component Model For The Construction Of Adaptive Middleware -- Reliability -- Rule-based Transactional Object Migration Over A Reflective Middleware -- The Corba Activity Service Framework For Supporting Extended Transactions -- Failure Mode Analysis Of Corba Service Implementations -- Home & Office -- Room-bridge: Vertically Configurable Network Architecture And Real-time Middleware For Interoperability Between Ubiquitous Consumer Devices In The Home -- Reducing The Energy Usage Of Office Applications -- System Software For Audio And Visual Networked Home Appliances On Commodity Operating Systems -- Scalability -- Access Control And Trust In The Use Of Widely Distributed Services -- Preserving Causality In A Scalable Message-oriented Middleware -- Pastry: Scalable, Decentralized Object Location, And Routing For Large-scale Peer-to-peer Systems -- Quality Of Service -- Providing Qos Customization In Distributed Object Systems -- 2k Q+: An Integrated Approach Of Qos Compilation And Reconfigurable, Component-based Run-time Middleware For The Unified Qos Management Framework.
