BEA WebLogic Event Server is a lightweight, Java-based (non-J2EE) application server designed specifically to support event driven applications. Event driven applications, including those in financial services as well as other markets, are frequently characterized by the need to provide low and deterministic latencies while handling extremely high rates of streaming input data. This presents performance challenges that are quite different from those faced by more traditional application servers that tend to focus on obtaining the highest possible throughput for transactional workloads.
The benchmark study described in this report demonstrates WebLogic Event Server’s ability to provide low latency at very high data rates with a use case that is very typical of financial front office applications in Capital Markets. The benchmark application implements a Signal Generation scenario in which the application is monitoring multiple incoming streams of market data watching for the occurrence of certain conditions that will then trigger some action.
Composite Software Construction - The goal of this book is start by understanding today's software construction processes and technologies and explore why and how it should be evolved to support core composition mechanisms.
