Supporting Large-scale Continuous Stream Datacenters via Pub/Sub Middleware and Adaptive Transport Protocols

Large-scale datacenters that handle continuous data streams require scalable and flexible communication infrastructure. The scalability of publish/subscribe (pub/sub) middleware coupled with fine-grained quality-of-service (QoS) support and adaptive transport protocols constitutes a promising area of research to address the challenges of these types of large-scale datacenters. This paper describes how we are integrating pub/sub middleware with an adaptive transport protocol framework to support composable functionality for properties that—coupled with the finegrained QoS middlware support—can meet the required QoS of data conferencing applications that coordinate and manage multiple continuous data streams.
