碩士 === 逢甲大學 === 資訊工程學系 === 101 === With the development of mobile devices and network communication technology, service applications in mobile environments with large potential users become more and more popular. It might increase their work efficiency, improve their responsiveness and competitiveness, and create new market and meet new customer demands. But it’s not easy when integrating with existing information system of an enterprise due to some reasons, such as too many heterogeneous systems and mobile platforms, too heavy development and maintenance cost, hardware limitation of mobile platforms. To reduce the effort of integrating mobile solution into enterprise system, a middleware architecture is a possible solution since it can serve as bridge between the mobile and enterprise system, and provide a unified data format to all types of mobile platforms. In this thesis, we propose a configurable and extensible mobile middleware, called CEMM, based on web service and plugin architecture to make the integration easier and achieve extensibility. To reduce the load of modifying programs, we abstract the management of plugin into a configuration file, such that we just modify the configuration file when adjusting the plugin, instead of revising the programs. To validate our approach, the middleware is implemented by python language. We also develop some features of &;quot;Mobile FCU&;quot; application by the middleware.
