Protocol promises faster Web services
A new protocol has been proposed, one which could radically change the efficiency of collaborative applications. Collaborative applications are those which cull resources from many different locations or sources. Distributed computing applications support web services and high-powered grid computing. This protocol promises to speed up collaborative applications up to 10 times.
The protocol, called the Order-based Deadlock Prevention Protocol, works with greater efficiency for time-critical applications.
There are still some problems: the current protocol will lack the power to allow efficient coordination between Internet applications as they grow larger in scale, according to the researcher. Two other problems likely to become even bigger hindrances as Web services and Internet collaborative computing become widespread are livelock and deadlock. Livelock occurs when two or more processes keep shifting their requests in response to the changes occurring in the other--with neither process succeeding in carrying out any productive work. Deadlock occurs when two or more processes get bogged down waiting for the other to make a move.
