Patent ID: 7974204

Claim:
A method of managing resources of an information system to provide a message flow having a consistent level of quality of service (QoS) within and across a plurality of interconnected middleware domains, the method comprising: receiving a QoS message from a first QoS manager expressing at least one QoS requirement received from a client of the information system; propagating the at least one QoS requirement from the first QoS manager to a second QoS manager via a QoS bridge; translating the at least one QoS requirement to at least one QoS parameter specific to a messaging service that communicatively couples multiple middleware domains including at least one subscriber of the information system such that the at least one QoS parameter is received by the subscriber; and utilizing the messaging service to receive and enforce the at least one QoS parameter and facilitate the message flow between the interconnected middleware domains, with a consistent QoS between the client and the at least one subscriber.
