摘要:
Improved access control techniques for distributed messaging systems such as content-based publish/subscribe systems are disclosed. For example, a method for providing access control in a content-based publish/subscribe system, wherein messages are delivered from publishing clients to subscribing clients via a plurality of brokers, includes the following steps/operations. One or more changes to an access control policy are specified. An access control version identifier is associated to the one or more changes. The one or more changes are sent to one or more brokers of the plurality of brokers that have a publishing client or a subscribing client associated therewith that is affected by the one or more changes. The access control version identifier associated with the one or more changes is sent to each of the plurality of brokers.

The present invention is directed to a publish/subscribe system containing a plurality of brokers, a plurality of subscribers and plurality of brokers including publisher connecting brokers, intermediate brokers and subscriber connecting brokers. Subscriptions are introduced into the system by the subscribers through associated subscription brokers. New subscriptions are aggregated, assigned a virtual start time and propagated through the system toward the publishers. Each broker maintains subscription information in the form of a directed acyclic graph and a broker vector. Messages are published through the system by the publishers through their associated publisher connecting brokers. Each message is assigned a message vector associating subscriptions to that message. The published messages are routed through the brokers toward the subscribers in accordance with comparisons of message brokers and vector brokers conducted at each broker.

A content-based publish/subscribe system for providing gapless message delivery from a publishing client to a subscribing client, the system includes a plurality of brokers operatively coupled to one another via a network. Each of the brokers include at least one processor and are configured as a publisher-hosting broker, a subscriber-hosting broker or an intermediate broker. The subscriber-hosting broker is operatively coupled to the publisher-hosting broker via the network through the intermediate broker. At least a portion of the plurality of brokers are configured so as to eliminate a need for persistent storage of messages at the intermediate broker and to substantially guarantee a gapless delivery of one or more messages transmitted by the publishing client to the subscribing client, even in the presence of a failure in the publish/subscribe system.

A method, system, and computer program for delivering messages and data to competing consumers. One aspect of the invention includes a message delivery system including a destination messaging engine, one or more receiver messaging engines, and a message pool. The destination messaging engine is configured to distribute data from one or more producers. The receiver messaging engines are configured to request data from the destination messaging engine and transmit the data to one or more consumers. The message pool is configured to store data from the producers, with the destination messaging engine arbitrating data in the message pool among the receiver messaging engines.

A system and method for latency assignment in a system having shared resources for performing jobs including computing a new resource price at each resource and sending the new resource price to a task controller in a task path that has at least one job running in the task path. A path price is computed for each task path of the task controller, if there is a critical time specified for the task. New deadlines are determined for the resources in a task path based on the resource price and the path price. The new deadlines are sent to the resources where the at least one job is running to improve system performance.

A system and method for temporal synchronization of media streams in multimedia collaborative applications (i.e., a multi-user distributed applications used for interaction, both in the synchronous and asynchronous fashion among a group of users) in a wide-area distributed environment. The invention presents two abstractions; event streams and collaboration space, that together provide for coarse-grained temporal synchronization by using separate streams for different media and synchronizing the streams at the client location. VCR-like controls are also provided on groups of components in a collaborative application. The event stream provides many services such as replication, persistence, buffering, reading, and writing to archive. By implementing simple interfaces, existing collaborative applications, media players, and encoders become components that can be used to build complex multimedia collaborative applications. To efficiently implement a seeking function on a data component, the present invention introduces a framework for application-specific updates to a component state.
