Comparing and Contrasting Adaptive Middleware Support in Wide-Area and Embedded Distributed Object Applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Quality Objects (QuO) middleware is a set of extensions to standard distributed object computing middleware that is used to control and adapt quality of service in a number of distributed application environments, from wide-area to embedded distributed applications. This paper compares and contrasts the characteristics of key use cases and the variations in QuO implementations that have emerged to support them. We present these variations in the context of several actual applications being developed using the QuO middleware.

Flexible and Adaptive QoS Control for Distributed Real-Time and Embedded Middleware
Computing systems are increasingly distributed, real-time, and embedded (DRE) and must operate under highly unpredictable and changeable conditions. To provide predictable mission-critical quality of service (QoS) end-to-end, QoS-enabled middleware services and mechanisms have begun to emerge. However, the current generation of commercial-off-the-shelf middleware lacks adequate support for appl...
متن کاملComparison of Two Middleware Data Dissemination Services in a Wide-Area Distributed System
This paper provides an experimental comparison of two middleware data dissemination services: a distributed object-based service, and a message-based service. This paper compares these two services in the context of a common application: a wide-area network collaboratory, namely the Upper Atmospheric Research Collaboratory (UARC). UARCis an example of an application that reliably-streams data f...
متن کاملTowards a Performance Model for Special Purpose ORB Middleware
General purpose middleware has been shown effective in meeting diverse functional requirements for a wide range of distributed systems. Advanced middleware projects have also supported single quality-of-service dimensions such as real-time, fault tolerance, or small memory footprint. However, there is limited experience supporting multiple quality-of-service dimensions in middleware to meet the...
متن کاملPerformance Evaluation of an Adaptive Middleware Load Balancing and Monitoring Service
As middleware-based distributed applications become more pervasive, the need to improve the scalability of these applications becomes increasingly important. One way to improve scalability is via load balancing. Earlier generations of middleware-based load balancing services were simplistic, however, since they focused on specific use-cases and environments, which made it hard to use these serv...
متن کاملEmerging Patterns in Adaptive, Distributed Real-Time, Embedded Middleware
We have been developing Quality Objects (QuO), an adaptive middleware framework that supports the development of distributed object applications that can measure, control, and adapt to quality of service (QoS) needs and variations in a system. We have applied QuO to the problems of distributed real-time embedded (DRE) applications, including a streaming video dissemination application and a dyn...
