  1. Visibility as Central Abstraction in Event-based Systems

  2. Event-based Systems Pub/Sub System Ludger Fiege, fiege@acm.orgTU Darmstadt, Germany

  3. Benefits • We appreciate the loose coupling • Indirect addressing, space decoupling • Additional degrees of freedom • Basic CS solution… • Event-based: • Components control their own state, solely • Independence • Reusability Ludger Fiege, fiege@acm.orgTU Darmstadt, Germany

  4. Event-based Systems Pub/Sub System Ludger Fiege, fiege@acm.orgTU Darmstadt, Germany

  5. Drawbacks • Composed functionality is • Direct and implicit result of composition • No explicit control of coordination • Control only by adapting components: • Tailor event types/contents • Encode application structure into components • Sacrifice very benefits of event-based style?! Usable as basic programming paradigm? Ludger Fiege, fiege@acm.orgTU Darmstadt, Germany

  6. Event-based SystemsRegaining Control Pub/Sub System Ludger Fiege, fiege@acm.orgTU Darmstadt, Germany

  7. Family 2 advice advice Ma GrandMa Scopes • Scopes constrain the visibility of notifications • Visibilityas first-class concept • Structure not emulated by namespaces or filters • Clients not aware of structure • External control of structure: Integration Family 1 sick sick Ma GrandMa Ludger Fiege, fiege@acm.orgTU Darmstadt, Germany

  12. Implementation • Project REBECA: http://www.gkec.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de/rebeca • Prototype of notification infrastructure • Scalable content-based filtering • Structuring with Scopes • Example Applications • Stock trading platform • Self-actualizing web pages Ludger Fiege, fiege@acm.orgTU Darmstadt, Germany

  14. Using Scopes • Different Implementations of Scopes • Not always all configuration options available • Adapt/tailored to deployment scenario • Up to now: Specification • XML description of interfaces • Java objects implementing policies • Future: • Composition languages • Functional PL Ludger Fiege, fiege@acm.orgTU Darmstadt, Germany

  15. Contributions • We started by implementing an event-based middleware • Introduce scopes in event-based systems • first-class structuring mechanism • Obvious benefits • Control side effects • Address heterogeneity issues • Refine event service semantics Ludger Fiege, fiege@acm.orgTU Darmstadt, Germany

  16. …and then • Event-based components • Information hiding • Composing new components • Implemented framework: • allows to investigate scopes as new abstraction in event-based systems • Software engineering • Component languages, Meta Object Protocols • Data management • Sessions, transactions, notification lifetime • Distributed systems • Multicast, ordering, group communication • … Ludger Fiege, fiege@acm.orgTU Darmstadt, Germany
