    CS 395-2

    QoS-enabled Middleware Design & Application


    Dr. Douglas C. Schmidt
    [email protected] www.dre.vanderbilt.edu/~schmidt/cs395/ Professor of EECS Vanderbilt University Nashville, Tennessee

    CS 395 Course Philosophy


    Good design & programming is not learned by generalities, but by seeing how significant programs can be made clean, easy to read, easy to maintain & modify, human-engineered, efficient, & reliable, by the application of good design & programming practices. Careful study & imitation of good designs & programs significantly improves development skills.
    - Kernighan & Plauger

    Parallelism

    Determinism

    Throughput, Availability
    Near Real-Time FaultTolerant Information PRocessing

    The Need for QoS-enabled Technologies


    Network Centric Architectures are emerging as a key trend for next generation military & civil system of systems Efficient, scalable & QoS-enabled technologies are an enabling technology for network-centric systems

    The Right Information => To the Right People => At the Right Time

    Common Requirements
    Shared Operational Picture Interoperability

    Increasing need in real-time


    access to the common operational picture

    Interoperability is a key enabler


    for achieving better performance & enabling new operational requirements

    Increased Data Volumes

    Real-time dissemination of
    massive data volumes, often over large scale

    Loosely Coupled & Plug & Play

    Ability seamlessly support


    MANET, VANET, time, & space decoupling

    The Solution is in the Middleware


    Applications Domain-Specific Services Common Middleware Services Distribution Middleware Host Infrastructure Middleware Operating Systems & Protocols Hardware

    Historically, mission-critical apps were built directly atop hardware & OS Tedious, error-prone, & costly over lifecycles

    There are layers of middleware, just like there are layers of networking protocols
    Standards-based COTS middleware helps: Control end-to-end resources & QoS Leverage hardware & software technology advances Evolve to new environments & requirements Provide a wide array of reusable, offthe-shelf developer-oriented services

    There are multiple COTS middleware layers & research/business opportunities

    Operating System & Protocols


    Operating systems & protocols provide mechanisms to manage endsystem resources, e.g., CPU scheduling & dispatching Virtual memory management Secondary storage, persistence, & file systems Local & remote interprocess communication (IPC) OS examples UNIX/Linux, Windows, VxWorks, QNX, etc. Protocol examples TCP, UDP, IP, SCTP, RTP, etc.

    Host Infrastructure Middleware


    Host infrastructure middleware encapsulates & enhances native OS mechanisms to create reusable network programming components
    These components abstract away many tedious & error-prone aspects of low-level OS APIs
    Domain-Specific Services Common Middleware Services Distribution Middleware Host Infrastructure Middleware

    Examples Java Virtual Machine (JVM), Common Language Runtime (CLR), ADAPTIVE Communication Environment (ACE)
    Asynchronous Event Handling Physical Memory Access

    Asynchronous Transfer of Control

    Synchronization

    Memory Management

    Scheduling

    Distribution Middleware
    Distribution middleware defines higher-level distributed programming models whose reusable APIs & components automate & extend native OS capabilities Examples OMG Real-time CORBA & DDS, Sun RMI, Microsoft DCOM, W3C SOAP
    End-to-End Priority Propagation Client

    Distribution middleware avoids hard-coding client & server application dependencies on object location, language, OS, protocols, & hardware

    Common Middleware Services


    Common middleware services augment distribution middleware by defining higher-level domain-independent services that focus on programming business logic Examples CORBA Component Model & Object Services, Suns J2EE, Microsofts .NET, W3C Web Services
    Domain-Specific Services Common Middleware Services Distribution Middleware Host Infrastructure Middleware

    Common middleware services support many recurring distributed system capabilities, e.g.,
    Transactional behavior

    Authentication & authorization,


    Database connection pooling & concurrency control Active replication Dynamic resource management
    11

    Domain-Specific Middleware
    Domain-specific middleware services are tailored to the requirements of particular domains, such as telecom, ecommerce, health care, process automation, or aerospace
    Examples Siemens MED Syngo Common software platform for distributed electronic medical systems Used by all ~13 Siemens MED business units worldwide
    Domain-Specific Services Common Middleware Services Distribution Middleware Host Infrastructure Middleware

    Boeing Bold Stroke Common software platform for Boeing avionics mission computing systems Modalities
    e.g., MRI, CT, CR, Ultrasound, etc.

    CORBA shields applications from heterogeneous platform dependencies e.g., languages, operating systems, networking protocols, hardware

    Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) A family of specifications OMG is the standards body Over 800 companies CORBA defines interfaces, not implementations It simplifies development of distributed applications by automating/encapsulating Object location Connection & memory mgmt. Parameter (de)marshaling Event & request demultiplexing Error handling & fault tolerance Object/server activation Concurrency Security

    These capabilities address some (but by no means all) important real-time application development challenges

    control to regular CORBA to improve application predictability, e.g., Bounding priority inversions & Managing resources end-to-end Policies & mechanisms for resource configuration/control in Real-time CORBA include: Processor Resources Thread pools Priority models Portable priorities Synchronization Communication Resources Protocol policies Explicit binding Memory Resources Request buffering

    Overview of the Data Distribution Service (DDS)


    High Performance real-time data-centric publish/subscribe middleware
    The right data, at the right place, at the right timeall the time Fully distributed, multicast-enabled, high performance, highly scalable, & high availability, hot-swap/hot-hot architecture

    Blends data-centric & real-time publish/subscribe technologies


    Content-based subscriptions, (continuous) queries, & filters Fine-grained, policy-based tuning of resource usage, data delivery, availability QoS Optimal networking & computing resources usage

    Loosely coupled
    Plug & play architecture with dynamic discovery Time & space decoupling

    Open standard
    OMG DDS v1.2 latest version www.omg.org/dds
    Global Data Space

    DDS: Foundational Abstractions


    Information Model. Defines the structure, relations, & QoS, of the information exchanged by the applications, & supports flat, relational, & object-oriented modeling Typed Global Data Space. A logical data space in which applications read & write data anonymously & asynchronously, decoupled in space & time Publisher/Subscriber. Produce/Consume information into/from the Global Data Space QoS. Regulates the non-functional properties of information in the Global Data Space, e.g., reliability, availability, & timeliness, etc.
