Performance Analysis of Publish/Subscribe Systems

A few words on this set of articles

This is really a set of articles. The work was done mainly by Heithem Abbes, a Tunisian phD student advised jointly by Christophe Cérin and Mohamed Jemni at UTIC). I collaborated from afar as much as I could given the distance. Among other things, I wrote the slides presented to EUMEDGrid 2007 (attached below). They were also presented at Renpar 18 by Heithem.

This article is more of a position and investigation article. We try to analyse whether classic services discovery protocols are fit for the desktop Grid (at least local desktop grids). FreePastry was not in the initial project. The result is bad news, except maybe for Bonjour.

An abridged version was finally published in SGS 2008 (a satellite conference of Europar 2008). The presentation was made by Heithem.
