“…BAST [6] pioneered the use of protocols as components within an object-oriented environment. Our platform uses a black-box approach to composition motivated by intended use in mashups, whereas BAST used a language-centric approach based on inheritance.…”

Today's Rich Internet Application (RIA) technologies such as Ajax, Flex, or Silverlight, are designed around the client-server paradigm and cannot easily take advantage of replication, publish-subscribe, or peer-to-peer mechanisms for better scalability or responsiveness. This is particularly true of storage: content is typically persisted in data centers and consumed via web services. We propose a checkpointed channel (CC) abstraction as an alternative model for storing and accessing content. CCs are architecture-agnostic: they could be implemented as web services, but also as replicated state machines running over peer-to-peer multicast protocols. They can seamlessly span across the data center boundaries, or live at the edge. They are a more natural way of consuming streaming content. CCs can store hierarchical documents with hyperlinks to other CCs, thus forming a web of interconnected CCs: a live scalable information space. We discuss the advantages of the new abstraction, challenges it poses, and the way it fits within the existing models for RIA development.

“…Our work has been inspired by a rich body of prior research on typed component integration platforms, including OLE [2] and Jini [18], protocol composition frameworks, such as BAST [7], and web-like P2P environments, e.g., Croquet [17]; a more comprehensive discussion of these can be found in [14].…”

Abstract-There is a growing need for a new type of WS-*/SOA standards that could facilitate hierarchical, object-oriented composition of client-side executable code. This is especially true for the sorts of client-side logic embedded in AJAX and rich Internet applications, virtual worlds and MMORPGs; code that deals with issuing requests to servers, processing their responses, rendering UI, interacting with users, and processing asynchronous events from other client nodes. The paper offers an analysis of client-side composition patterns, a brief explanation why they lack adequate support from the existing web technologies, and design guidelines for client-side component integration environments to follow. The proposed guidelines have been successfully implemented in a prototype system [16]. Our analysis is thus strongly rooted in reality; it is based on real experiences with concrete application scenarios. The paper concludes by highlighting the key architectural aspects of our implementation with respect to the principles listed earlier.

“…In order to promote the re-usability of protocols, messages are exchanged indirectly, via the x-Kernel, through calls to push and pop functions. Following the work on the x-Kernel, many other protocol composition frameworks have been proposed, including Ensemble (Hayden 1998), CORDS (Travostino et al 1996), Coyote (Bhatti et al 1998), Cactus (Hiltunen et al 1999, ARMADA (Abdelzaher et al 1997), Bast (Garbinato and Guerraoui 1998), and Appia (Miranda et al 2001). In the following paragraphs, we only devote our attention to the systems that have targeted real-time environments.…”

Implementation and analysis of real-time communication protocol compositions

A flexible way of building modular communication stacks relies on the use of protocol composition. This paper describes a protocol composition framework that simplifies the task of deriving the worst-case response time of a protocol composition from the protocol implementation. In order to derive the worst-case response time of a protocol composition, one needs to capture its event-graph: the event-graph consists of the set of all events processed by each component and the relation between those events. The framework, called RT-Appia, takes a pragmatic approach: instead of requiring the use of domain specific code analysis tools, or dedicated compilers, it simply requires protocol programmers to make explicit which events are processed and produced by each layer, and how these events are related. An interesting aspect of the approach is that the same data structures that are used to simplify the task of computing the worst-case response time of the protocol composition are also used to optimize the performance and to debug the resulting implementation.
