Why non-determinism in middleware should not be ignored
نویسنده
چکیده
Unfortunately, in the practical world of IT, the theoretical solution does not apply. Indeed the cost of resolving the difficulties raised by non-determinism rapidly become prohibitive as the number of ‘components’ which need to work together rises. This is particularly applicable to distributed systems connected by middleware, with major implications for project management, application maintainability and overall dependability.

Alleviating Priority Inversion and Non-Determinism in Real-Time CORBA ORB Core Architectures
There is increasing demand to extend Object Request Broker (ORB) middleware to support distributed applications with stringent real-time requirements. However, conventional ORB implementations, such as CORBA ORBs, exhibit substantial priority inversion and non-determinism, which makes them unsuitable for applications with deterministic real-time requirements. This paper provides two contributio...
متن کاملAccess control in ultra-large-scale systems using a data-centric middleware
The primary characteristic of an Ultra-Large-Scale (ULS) system is ultra-large size on any related dimension. A ULS system is generally considered as a system-of-systems with heterogeneous nodes and autonomous domains. As the size of a system-of-systems grows, and interoperability demand between sub-systems is increased, achieving more scalable and dynamic access control system becomes an im...
متن کاملHegel’s Ethics
My purpose in this article is not to offer any original insights into Hegel’s ethics, but merely to provide a brief overview that draws upon the most reliable secondary sources. In order to help organize the material, I compare Hegel’s views with the communitarian critique of liberalism. Following this, there is a brief account of the relation between Hegel’s ethical and religious thought. Hege...
متن کاملScheduler-Specific Confidentiality for Multi-threaded Programs and Its Logic-Based Verification
Observational determinism has been proposed in the literature as a way to ensure confidentiality for multi-threaded programs. Intuitively, a program is observationally deterministic if the behavior of the public variables is deterministic, i.e., independent of the private variables and the scheduling policy. Several formal definitions of observational determinism exist, but all of them have sho...
متن کاملOn Why the United States Should Not Attack Iran: A Conservative, Evangelical Christian Response
In the midst of American intervention in Afghanistan and Iraq, and in the aftermath of the presidential election in Iran, support for American involvement in Iran has increased in some circles. In this piece, our desire is to give a conservative, evangelical Christian response to why America should not support any military action against Iran. A position advocated by many of us is “Just War.” I...
