Example: Pub/Sub Interests: boy boy Interests: boy girl Interests: girl ICDCS’10 Genoa, Italy
Pub/Sub • A communication paradigm • Subscribers express their interests • Publishers disseminate messages • Many applications and industry standards • Application integration, financial data dissemination, RSS feed distribution, business process management • WS Notifications, WS Eventing, OMGs’ Real-time Data Dissemination Service • Topic-based pub/sub • TIBCO RV • Google’s GooPS ICDCS’10 Genoa, Italy
Two componentsin pub/sub implementation Design of routing protocols Construction of overlay The construction of the overlay topology such that network traffic is minimized. Chockler et al., PODC’07 Onus et al., INFOCOM’09 • The design of protocols so that publications and subscriptions are sent most efficiently across the overlay network. • G. Li et al., ICDCS’08 • M. Castro et al., JSAC’02 ICDCS’10 Genoa, Italy

MinAvg-TCO problem {b,c,d} {b,c,d} V1 V1 {a,c} {a,c} {a} {a} V5 V2 V5 V2 V4 V3 V4 V3 {a,b} {b,d} {a,b} {b,d} TCO1 has 5 edges TCO2 has 10 edges ICDCS’10 Genoa, Italy
MinAvg-TCO problem {b,c,d} V1 {a} V2 {a,c} V5 {a,b} V3 V4 {b,d} • A high-quality overlay • Topic-connectivity • Total number of edges • Input: • a set of nodes V, • a set of topics T, • the interest function Int • MinAvg-TCO(V,T,Int) (optimization version) Construct a TCO(V,T,Int,E) such that |E| is minimum. • Avg-TCO(V,T,Int,k) (decision version) Is there a TCO(V,T,Int,E) such that |E|=k? • Theorem: MinAvg-TCOis NP-complete ICDCS’10 Genoa, Italy
Greedy-Merge (GM) algorithm • Greedy: always making the choice that looks best at the moment • GM for MinAvg-TCO: always adding an edge with maximum link contribution • Running Time: O(|V|2|T|) • Approximation Ratio: O(log(|V||T|)) ICDCS’10 Genoa, Italy
Our contributions ICDCS’10 Genoa, Italy
TCO join problem • Given p TCOs: TCOd (Vd,Td,Intd,Ed), d=1,..,p • MinAvg-TCO-Join(V,T,Int,p) (optimization version) Construct a TCO(V,T,Int,E) such that |E| is minimum • Avg-TCO-Join(V,T,Int,p,k) (decision version) Is there a TCO(V,T,Int,E) such that |E|=k? • MinAvg-TCO is a special case of MinAvg-TCO-Join: Theorem: MinAvg-TCO-Join is NP-complete ICDCS’10 Genoa, Italy
Solving MinAvg-TCO-Join • MinAvg-TCO-Join could be solved by GM, but NOT practical: • Tear down all existing links • Rebuild the overlay from scratch using GM • It is better to preserve all existing edges and only add edges incrementally. ICDCS’10 Genoa, Italy
Bad case for incremental addition of edges Vall : interested in all topics in T Constructing incrementally Constructing from scratch Vall Vall V1 V1 V1 Vn V2 Vn V2 Vn V2 Vn-1 Vi Vn-1 Vi Vn-1 Vi TCO0 : TCO2 : TCO1 : ICDCS’10 Genoa, Italy
Naive Merge (NM) algorithm GM algorithm NM algorithm Input: (Vd,Td,Intd,Ed), d=1,...,p Output: one TCO Algorithm: - Start with existing internal-TCO links; - Always add a cross-TCO edge with maximum link contribution. Running time: NM is based on the same greedy heuristic as GM. • Input: (V,T,Int) • Output: one TCO • Algorithm: - Start with an empty edge set; - Always add an edge with maximum link contribution. • Running time: ICDCS’10 Genoa, Italy
Example of NM {c} {a} V0 V1 {c} {a,c,d} V4 {d} V3 V12 {a,b,c} V13 V7 {c} V6 V9 V10 {d} {a,b,c} {c} Still a prohibitively high running time!!! {a,b,c} V2 V11 {b,c,d} {a,b,d} V8 V14 V5 {a} {a,b,d} ICDCS’10 Genoa, Italy
Star set Given a TCO (V,T,Int,E) A Star set S is a subset of V that covers all V’s topics. {b,c,d} {b,c,d} {b,c,d} V1 V1 V1 {a} {a} {a} V5 V2 V5 V2 V5 V2 {a,c} {a,c} {a,c} V4 V3 V4 V3 V4 V3 {a,b} {a,b} {b,d} {b,d} {a,b} {b,d} {v3, v5} is a star set which covers all topics {a,b,c,d} {v2, v3, v4} is not a star set; it only covers {a,b,d} A topic-connected overlay ICDCS’10 Genoa, Italy
Star set • Star set nodes • Represents the interests of all the nodes • Can function as bridges to determine cross-TCO links • Observation: minimal star sets tend to be substantially smaller than the total number of nodes. • How to find a minimum star set S* for (V,T,Int)? • Equal to classic set cover problem: NP-complete • Could be approximated with a log approximation ratio ICDCS’10 Genoa, Italy
Star Merge (SM) algorithm NM algorithm SM algorithm Input: (Vd,Td,Intd,Ed), d=1,..,p Output: one TCO Algorithm: - Start with existing internal-TCO links; - Find a star set for each sub-TCO; - Always add a cross-Star edge with maximum link contribution. • Input: (Vd,Td,Intd,Ed), d=1,..,p • Output: one TCO • Algorithm: - Start with existing internal-TCO links; - // Do nothing; - Always add a cross-TCO edge with maximum link contribution. ICDCS’10 Genoa, Italy
Example of SM {c} {a} V0 V1 {c} {a,c,d} V4 {d} V6 V12 {a,b,c} V13 V7 {c} V9 {a,b,c} V10 V3 {d} {c} Running time largely improved because #stars << #nodes for most cases. {a,b,c} V2 V11 {b,c,d} {a,b,d} V8 V14 V5 {a} {a,b,d} ICDCS’10 Genoa, Italy
Divide and Conquer (DC) for MinAvg-TCO • The number of nodes is a dominant factor for the running time of the GM algorithm. • Divide-and-conquer • Divide the MinAvg-TCO problem into several sub-overlay construction problems • Conquer the sub-MinAvg-TCO problems independently and build sub-overlays into sub-TCOs • Combine these sub-TCOs to one TCO ICDCS’10 Genoa, Italy
Design of DC algorithm • How to divide the node set V: • Node clustering vs. random partitioning • The number of partitions p • The balance between conquer and combine • p = 1 (single partition): conquer only = GM • p = |V| (each node is a partition): combine only = GM • How to decentralize DC: • Note the DC algorithm as presented is fully centralized. • However, it is possible to decentralize it. • Theoretical analysis: not straightforward.

Experiment setting • The number of nodes |V| = 1000 ranging from 1000 to 8000 • The number of topics |T| = 100 ranging from 100 to 1000 • The number of topics that subscribed by a node NodeIntSize=20 ranging from 10 to 100 • Topic distribution uniform, zipf, exponential ICDCS’10 Genoa, Italy
Experiment design • Evaluation:average node degree, running time • Star Merge for MinAvg-TCO-Join • DC for MinAvg-TCO • Random node partitioning • The effects of the number of nodes • The effects of the number of topics • The effects of average subscription size of a node • Comparison with RingPT RingPT is an algorithm that mimics the common practice of building separate overlay for each topic.

Algorithm summary ICDCS’10 Genoa, Italy
Minimal Number of Links • A typical pub/sub system combines a number of protocols, many of which maintaining per-link state • A node must constantly monitor the availability of each of its neighbors (heartbeats and keep-alive state) • If the links are maintained using TCP, there is the cost of connection state for each link • The more links there are, the fewer topics can be routed over each individual link, thereby diminishing cross-topic aggregation benefits • If sequential-diff-based compression scheme is used, there is an extra cost associated with a history table
