Abstract:
1. A method of providing a consistent level of quality of service (QoS) in an information system including a first middleware domain and a second middleware domain, the method comprising: receiving, at a QoS bridge, at least one QoS requirement from a first QoS manager associated with the first middleware domain, wherein the at least one QoS requirement is received by the first QoS manager from a first client associated with the first middleware domain; propagating the at least one QoS requirement from the QoS bridge to a second QoS manager associated with the second middleware domain; translating by the QoS bridge the at least one QoS requirement to at least one QoS parameter specific to a messaging service that communicatively couples the first and second middleware domains such that the at least one QoS parameter is received by a second client associated with the second middleware domain; and utilizing the messaging service to receive and enforce the at least one QoS parameter and facilitate a message flow between the first and second middleware domains, with a consistent QoS between the first client and the second client.
