“…We can outline [8], [9], and [10] as prominent examples of previous research. But again, they are not offering the novel call abstractions and elastic middleware that we provide in ObjectMQ.…”

The design of elastic file synchronization services like Dropbox is an open and complex issue yet not unveiled by the major commercial providers, as it includes challenges like fine-grained programmable elasticity and efficient change notification to millions of devices. In this paper, we propose a novel architecture for file synchronization which aims to solve the above two major challenges. At the heart of our proposal lies ObjectMQ, a lightweight framework for providing programmatic elasticity to distributed objects using messaging. The efficient use of indirect communication: i) enables programmatic elasticity based on queue message processing, ii) simplifies change notifications offering simple unicast and multicast primitives; and iii) provides transparent load balancing based on queues.Our reference implementation is StackSync, an open source elastic file synchronization Cloud service developed in the context of the FP7 project CloudSpaces. StackSync supports both predictive and reactive provisioning policies on top of ObjectMQ that adapt to real traces from the Ubuntu One service. The feasibility of our approach has been extensively validated with an open benchmark, including commercial synchronization services like Dropbox or OneDrive.

“…Publishers and subscribers interact with so-called border brokers and the event messages flow through the system via so-called internal brokers. Yet this system still yields bottlenecks at the root of the tree, a problem that is overcome by pure peer-topeer architectures for broker networks (see for instance [73,75,76]). Announcing that certain events will be provided by a certain source Removing Advertisement No Announcing that certain events will no longer be provided by a certain source Implementations further vary in the employed methods for disseminating event messages in the network.…”

“…Naturally, this approach can incur in being the interceptor itself a single point of failure: if the interceptor node fails, load-balancing fails as well. As explained in [6,7], we can use replication mechanisms for the interceptor itself, and assure correct load-balancing even in case of its failure. For such matter we are currently designing new replication schemes, which may help solve these problems in an efficient and consistent way.…”

“…Relating P2P Grids with structured peer-to-peer overlay networks, we have developed a structured P2P Grid middleware platform called Decentralized Event Remote Method Invocation (Dermi) [6]. Dermi is a distributed event-based object middleware built on top of a DHT-based P2P overlay network.…”
