摘要:: 行动应用服务可以提升企业的工作效能与竞争力，能带来更多新的潜在消费者，然而太多异质系统、行动平台、开发与维护成本过高的因素，使得在既有系统上开发行动应用软件是件不容易的事。目前主要的行动平台有iOS、Android与Windows Phone等，因在不同平台上实作行动应用程序的技术皆不同，导致企业开发支持多平台的行动应用软件时，需耗费非常多的成本与人力。利用行动中间件架构设计，使软件开发者于行动服务程序开发过程中，进行与既有系统间沟通和输入/输出更为容易。行动中间件基本上能隐藏行动环境中工作的复杂性，以致降低多平台支持的困难度，并减少重复行动软件开发的人力与增加开发组件重用的机会。在此论文中，提出一个行动中间件架构设计，让整合既有系统的行动应用服务程序的开发可以更有效率。

Abstract:: Mobile applications can upgrade enterprises’ work efficiency, competitiveness and even bring new potential customers. However, due to many heterogeneous systems and different mobile platforms, high cost of development and maintenance, it is not easy to develop the software for the legacy systems in mobile applications. Thus, using mobile middleware can facilitate in resolving most of the problems. The current mainstream platforms for mobile devices such as smart phones and tablet computers are iOS, Android, Windows Phone etc., but the skills for the implementation of mobile applications in each platform are different. It leads to high cost and requires more human labor when enterprises want to develop a mobile application software supporting multi-platforms. Middleware makes it easier for software developers to perform communication and input/output, mobile middleware essentially hides the complexities of working in mobile environments, so that it can reduce the difficulty of supporting multi-platforms, decrease the duplication of the development efforts and increase the opportunities of the developed components which can be reused. In this study, to design a mobile middleware framework can support quickly, development efficiently and integration conformably to the new mobile applications servers in the current system.
