Publish/Subscribe and JXTA based Cloud Service Management with QoS

Abstract

How to manage cloud services efficiently is difficult for large scale of services with frequently changing Quality of Service QoS in cloud computing environment. A multiple-dimension publish/subscribe pub/sub and JXTA based cloud service management mechanism, consists of registry overlay, service publisher and subscriber, is proposed to manage cloud services with active QoS refreshing and fast subscribe capability. The registry overlay with multiple managers cooperating on JXTA, can manage large scale services discovery. The service model with QoS describes a formal model for pub/sub based service management, and a fast subscribing algorithm with filter matrix and multi-dimension index is proposed. The filter matrix helps to reduce candidate services and the multi-dimension index is used to find satisfied services fast. Based on pub/sub and JXTA, the cloud management system is realized. The experiments show that the proposed cloud service management mechanism has good publication and subscribing performance, and is faster than traditional methods for large scale cloud services.
