Serena: scalable middleware for real-time web applications
Pages 802 - 805
Abstract
With the advent of the Internet of Things, an increasing number of devices are expected to contribute to larger software systems hosted on the web. The client devices send massive amounts of data to servers that need to send feedback to clients in a real-time fashion. The supporting technologies on these servers have little or no capacity to handle processing of continuous data with dynamic constraints whilst at the same time responding to the effects of the data in real time. In this paper we present Serena, a middleware for real-time web applications. Serena utilizes a scoped, rule-based approach to ease the dynamic definition of requirements or constraints and to support the scalable processing of real-time data, giving instantaneous feedback. Serena also abstracts the underlying infrastructure needed to support real-time communication. We evaluate our approach by implementing a non-trivial web-based application with dynamic constraints and real-time responses to clients, comparing it with a similar implementation using mainstream technology.
