Middleware is independent software that connects two otherwise separate applications sharing computing resources across heterogeneous technologies. Firmware is software (programs or data) that has been written onto read-only memory (ROM). It is a memory chip with embedded program code that holds its content when power is turned off. Firmware is a combination of software and hardware. Application software are programs that address an organizations processes and functions as opposed to system software, which enables the computer to function. Embedded systems are built-in modules for a specific purpose, e.g., SCARF.
