Middleware Mediated Transactions

Message Queuing Patterns for Middleware-Mediated Transactions

Many enterprise applications require the use of object-oriented middleware and message-oriented middleware in combination. Middleware-mediated transactions have been proposed as a transaction model to address reliability of such applications; they extend distributed object transactions to include messageoriented transactions. In this paper, we present three message queuing patterns that we have...

Middleware Mediated Transactions & Conditional Messaging Expert Topic

DREAM: Distributed Reliable Event-Based Application Management

New applications and the convergence of technologies, ranging from sensor networks to ubiquitous computing and from autonomic systems to eventdriven supply chain management, require new middleware platforms that support proactive event notification. We present a system overview and discuss the principles of Dream, a reactive middleware platform that integrates event detection and composition me...

Strategies for Integrating Messaging and Distributed Object Transactions

Messaging, and distributed transactions, describe two important models for building enterprise software systems. Distributed object middleware aims to support both models by providing messaging and transaction services. But while the concept of distributed object transactions is well-understood, support for messaging in distributed object environments is still in its early stages, and not nearl...

Network-Based Distributed Systems Middleware

Middleware is a growing, multidisciplinary area that merges knowledge from diverse areas such as distributed systems, networks and, more recently, embedded systems. This paper presents the results of an extensive review of middleware related literature, and presents an overview of critical features that must be considered during middleware development. These features include: network independen...

Access control in ultra-large-scale systems using a data-centric middleware

  The primary characteristic of an Ultra-Large-Scale (ULS) system is ultra-large size on any related dimension. A ULS system is generally considered as a system-of-systems with heterogeneous nodes and autonomous domains. As the size of a system-of-systems grows, and interoperability demand between sub-systems is increased, achieving more scalable and dynamic access control system becomes an im...
