Hi Guys, I was wondering if anyone has had the time to read the design doc? If so, it would be great if you guys could criticise it, talk about bits you woud like to see added, altered or removed or whatever... Also, I haven't actually finished the docs properly, but something I'd like to put in there is the publish/subscribe bus for the services. This would be a network-based (and shared memory for local services) system, whereby each service must register with the bus when starting up. The registration would include stating the service's version info, it's dependencies and it's capabilites. The idea would be that we could scale the system by (inter)connecting buses. A possibility is to use Corba to do all the networking etc and simply build some classes on top of that. An alternative is to use some form of object migration, where an object can move to a service, process data on the spot, then take what it needs to another service. This is probably the most exciting way to do it :-) Any other ideas? Mike |
