Primary Objectives
Consolidate the existing middleware distribution simplifying services and components to make them more sustainable (including use of off-the-shelf and commercial components whenever possible)
Evolve the middleware services/functionality following the requirements of infrastructures and users, mainly focusing on operational, standardization and interoperability aspects
Reactively and proactively maintain the middleware distribution to keep it in line with the growing infrastructure usage
