Emulation platform of autonomic software bus

Contacts : Ernesto Exposito, Email : {eexposit}@laas.fr, Phone : 0561336322

Description: The ASB Emulator platform  allows to characterize and model the performance of distributed service-oriented systems connected by a service bus (ESB). It is used to develop, test and validate architectural solutions to face performance problems.
Application AREA: distributed and service-oriented service 

Lists of equipment (HW / SW) constituting the platform: 

  • HW: Servers in the cloud. 
  • SW: OPENESB SERVICE BUS, WSO2 SERVICE BUS, GLASSFISH APPLICATION SERVER, ESPER EVENT PROCESSING ENGINE, DROOLS: RULES ENGINE, MQTT MESSAGE BROKER

Resources constituting platform: Research experts in service-oriented architectures

Offered services / expertise:

  • Performance modeling
  • IDENTIFICATION OF THE PLATFORMS LIMITS AND THE SOLUTIONS USED FOR DISTRIBUTED SYSTEMS
  • Design and validation of mechanisms for managing the quality of service and scalability
  • Engineering
  • Recommendations and Training

Platform qualification: research, technology, test, adapt to customers

Examples of industrial collaborations:

  • Since 2012: Pymma consulting: Exploitation of results and integration mechanisms for quality of service management in the new version of OpenESB intended to be a solution at the layer PAAS (Platform as a Service) of Cloud Computing.
  • Since September 2012: Collaboration with Thales Avionics. The platform is used as part of an internal project to compare the bus and to identify performance problems that may arise from the use of bus services

Other valuations of the platform (collaborative projects (EU, ANR, FUI, ...), patents, academic collaborations: 

  • Since September 2011: Collaboration with EADS in the IMAGINE project 
  • Since September 2011: Collaboration with INSA Toulouse under the UF Software Development Process and Service Oriented Architecture (PDL / SOA) for engineering students at last year specialized in IT and Networks

Evolution considered in the context of sectors: 

  • INSA Toulouse 
  • University of Los Andes Venezuela

Access conditions: Applying to the SARA team LAAS <responsable-sara@laas.fr> indicating the project. The cost will depend on the equipment used and the support that will be required. Access to the platform LaasNetExp is also constrained by the ZRR regulations in place at LAAS.
