Abstract:
A system and method for providing a dynamic invocation and service interface for use in a middleware or other environment. At the service-side, messages can be inserted into an inbound processing chain. After service-side inbound processing, messages are given to the user via a provider request function. The user gives a response by using a provider response function that inserts messages into a service-side outbound processing chain. After service-side outbound processing, messages are given to the user's service response transport. On the client side, the user can insert messages into the outbound processing chain using a dispatcher request. After client-side outbound processing, messages are given to the user's client request transport. This decouples message processing from the transport and makes the message processing asynchronous in nature. When the response is received, a user uses a client response transport function to insert the response into the client-side inbound processing chain.
Abstract:
A sharded, permissioned, distributed ledger may reduce the 5 amount of work and communication required by each participant, thus possibly avoiding scalability bottlenecks that may be inherent in previous distributed ledger implementations and possibly enabling the use of additional resources to translate to increased throughput. A sharded, permissioned, distributed ledger may be made up of multiple shards, each of which may also be a distributed ledger and 10 which may operate in parallel. Participation within a sharded, permissioned, distributed ledger may be allowed only with permission of an authority. A sharded, permissioned, distributed ledger may include a plurality of nodes, each including a dispatcher configured to receive transaction requests from clients and to forward received requests to verifiers configured to append transactions to individual ones of the shards.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates generally to techniques for improving reliability of message communications. In certain embodiments, techniques are described for facilitating reliable communication of messages between a source (e.g., a client system) and a destination (e.g., a target system) via an intermediary communication handler system. In certain embodiments, a message can include a request to be communicated to a destination for a target service. An intermediary communication handler system can store information indicative of the delivery status for a message to ensure reliable communication. The information indicative of the delivery status for a message can be managed in association with a unique identifier corresponding to the message. The information indicative of the delivery status for a message may also be used to determine whether to retry communication of a message in satisfaction of reliability parameters (e.g., QoS criteria) specified for a communication protocol used for communication of the message.
