Abstract:
OM4SPACE provides a cloud-based event notification middleware. This middleware delivers a foundation for the development of scalable complex event processing applications. The middleware decouples the event notification from the applications themselves, by encapsulating this functionality into a component called Activity Service. This paper presents the architecture of the Activity Service, its application scenario, its semantic parameters, the implemented prototype of the Activity Service and the preliminary results of the performance evaluation of the prototype. The contribution of the paper is threefold: (1) we identified a new use case for the application scenario; (2) we extended a list of semantic parameters; and (3) we presented an implemented prototype of the Activity Service.
