MIDDLEWARE & EAI:
In the computer industry, middleware is a general term for any programming that serves to "glue together" or mediate between two separate and often already existing programs. A common application of middleware is to allow programs written for access to a particular database to access other databases.

Typically, middleware programs provide messaging services so that different applications can communicate. The systematic tying together of disparate applications, often through the use of middleware, is known as enterprise application integration (EAI).

PURPOSE OF MIDDLE WARE:

Every type of middleware has the same general purpose: to allow multiple computers to do multiple things across a network, or to allow one computer to do many things or one complicated thing across a network. For example, some middleware is used to link a database system to a Web server, allowing users to access the database via a Web browser. Certain complicated computer systems require middleware in order to run their demanding applications. A perfect example of a large form of middleware is an application server, which is a server that is dedicated to a single application or a single type of application.

At its most basic, middleware is invisible, allowing computers to connect and communicate with one another and with servers. Without middleware, certain kinds of network activity would be impossible. The more powerful applications become, the more middleware will be needed.
