Scalable High-Performance Event Filtering for Dynamic Multi-point Applications
Douglas C. Schmidt · 1998
High-performance event filtering reduces the large volume of event traffic processed by dynamic multi-point applications in high-speed networks. We are developing an object-oriented (OO) framework for event filtering based on CORBA, which is an emerging standard for open distributed object computing. The OO framework supports the automated generation, optimization, and configuration of event filters in distributed systems. This paper outlines the key characteristics of dynamic multi-point applications, reviews related work, and describes the features provided by our event filtering framework. 1 Introduction The demand for high-performance event filtering to support dynamic multi-point(DMP) applications is increasingly. Examples of DMP applications include satellite telemetry processing systems, fault management in large-scale network management systems, real-time market data analysis systems, on-line news services, and distributed agents in mobile personal communication systems.
