* Coordination:
Composing two or more components that each belong to one of these categories is an [[software architecture|architectural]] design activity that has to balance a large amount of functional and non-functional requirements (performance, [[compositionality]],…). The robotics research community has come up with a large number of ([[open source]]) projects that claim to provide good solutions to this component composition problem. This article presents an overview of the relevant issues to be considered in the design and use of such middleware, and also provides an annotated list of middleware projects with an evaluation of which design constraints they took (or did not take) into account, and about how well they perform.
