Thread management in Mashup execution platforms

Abstract

We propose a Thread Management Strategy for Server Side Platforms that support the execution of Event Driven Mashups (i.e., composite services in which the service components interact through events rather than through the classical Call-Response paradigm). A Thread Management Strategy is necessary considering that such platforms are supposed to support the concurrent execution of large number of Mashups and as a consequence must exhibit high throughput and low latency. The Thread Management Strategy stems from an analysis of the interaction paradigms inside Mashups (e.g., call-response, polling, etc.). The paper describes the Thread Management Strategy and discusses its performance in the light of a set of experiments.

Optimizing pipe-like mashup execution for improving resource utilization

“…Authors introduce refactoring targeted the code smells, reducing the complexity of the mashups and standardizing their structures to fit the community development patterns. A thread man agement strategy for server supporting the execution of event driven mashups is discussed in [5] [6]. They classify the Web APIs into three categories and designed three service proxy structures correspondingly, which can be used as a reference when implementing new basic mashable components.…”
