A Correlation Framework for the CORBA Component Model

  • Conference paper

Abstract

Large distributed systems, including real-time embedded systems, are increasingly being built using sophisticated middleware frameworks. Communication in such systems is often realized using in terms of asynchronous events whose propagation is implemented by an underlying publish/subscribe service that hooks components into a generic event communication channel.Event correlation – a mechanism for monitoring and filtering events – has been introduced in some of these systems as an effective technique for reducing network traffic and computation time. Unfortunately, even though event correlation is used heavily in frameworks such as ACE/TAO’s real-time event-channel and in mission critical contexts such as Boeing’s Bold Stroke avionics middleware, the industry standard CORBA Component Model (CCM) does not include a specification of event correlation. While previous proposals for event correlation usually offer sophisticated facilities to detect combinations in the stream of incoming events, they have not been constructed to fit within the CCM type system, and they offer relatively little support for transforming and rearranging filtered events into meaningful output events. In this paper, we present the design rationale, syntax, and semantics for a new and highly flexible model for event correlation that is designed for integration into the CCM type system. Our model has been integrated and tested in theCadena development and analysis framework, which has been designed to support development of mission-control applications in the Boeing Bold Stroke framework.
