Middleware

Software that seeks to ease integration of networked applications by giving developers a standard set of application program interfaces or other hooks. With middleware, a developer theoretically does not have to figure out how to get two completely different applications to talk to each other; instead, he uses hooks in the middleware, which then acts as a broker between the applications.

Some examples of middleware include CORBA, Web services and enterprise application integration software.
