A reliable SMPP implementation in Erlang

چکیده
A reliable SMPP implementation in Erlang Mikael Laaksonen Software failure is one of the main problems in computer systems. Especially in systems with demand for high availability, such as telecom systems. SMPP is a protocol for sending short messages between entities in the telecom network. This thesis describes the design and implementation of a highly fault tolerant and reliable SMPP server and client. The implementation is done in Erlang, a language that was designed for fault tolerance. After testing the fault tolerance, the developed software has been integrated into telecommunication systems in commercial use at Mobile Arts.

An Erlang Implementation of Multiparty Session Actors
By requiring co-ordination to take place using explicit message passing instead of relying on shared memory, actor-based programming languages have been shown to be effective tools for building reliable and fault-tolerant distributed systems. Although naturally communication-centric, communication patterns in actor-based applications remain informally specified, meaning that errors in communica...
متن کاملImproving the network scalability of Erlang
As the number of cores grows in commodity architectures so does the likelihood of failures. A distributed actor model potentially facilitates the development of reliable and scalable software on these architectures. Key components include lightweight processes which ‘share nothing’ and hence can fail independently. Erlang is not only increasingly widely used, but the underlying actor model has ...
متن کاملeJason: An Implementation of Jason in Erlang
In this paper we describe eJason, a prototype implementation of Jason, the well-known agent-oriented programming language, in Erlang, a concurrent functional programming language. The reason for choosing Erlang as the implementation vehicle is the surprising number of similarities between Jason and Erlang, e.g., both have their syntactical roots in logic programming, and share an actor-based pr...
متن کاملAre High-Level Languages Suitable for Robust Telecoms Software?
In the telecommunications sector product development must minimise time to market while delivering high levels of dependability, availability, maintainability and scalability. High level languages are concise and hence potentially enable the fast production of maintainable software. This paper investigates the potential of one such language, Erlang, to deliver robust distributed telecoms softwa...
متن کاملRELEASE: A High-level Paradigm for Reliable Large-scale Server Software
Erlang is a functional language with a much-emulated model for building reliable distributed systems. This paper outlines the RELEASE project, and describes the progress in the first six months. The project aim is to scale the Erlang’s radical concurrency-oriented programming paradigm to build reliable general-purpose software, such as server-based systems, on massively parallel machines. Curre...
