Design and implementation of a workflow-based message-oriented middleware

Abstract

The rapid growth of data exchange on the networks has brought on many critical problems that require an answer. Generally, Internet data exchange systems are based on traditional client/server architecture, which models are less scalable and bring on especially high maintenance cost in the data exchange domain. For these reasons, we present a workflow-based message-oriented middleware (WMOM) system model for asynchronous communication platforms. The model combines workflow mechanism and message-oriented middleware. It not only makes applications to be isolated from communication network, but also improve the flexibility and scalability. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2006.
