An XML-based protocol for distributed event services
Dan Gunter, Warren Smith, Darcy Quesnel · eScholarship (California Digital Library) · 2001
A recent trend in distributed computing is the construction of high-performance distributed systems called computational grids.One difficulty we have encountered is that there is no standard format for the representation of performance information and no standard protocol for transmitting this information.This limits the types of performance analysis that can be undertaken in complex distributed systems.To address this problem, we present an XML-based protocol for transmitting performance events in distributed systems and evaluate the performance of this protocol.
