Abstract
The construction of highly reliable
planetary-scale distributed services in the unreliable Internet environment
entails significant challenges. Our research focuses on the use of loose
binding among service components as a means to deploy distributed services at
scale. An event-based publish/subscribe messaging infrastructure is the
principal means through which we implement loose binding. A unique property of
the messaging infrastructure is that it is built on a collection of
off-the-shelf instant messaging servers running on PlanetLab. Using this
infrastructure we have successfully constructed long-running services (such as
a PlanetLab node status service) with more than 2000 components.
