Abstract: An information processing system includes: a first storage device configured to store state data corresponding to processing executed on input data that is stored in a buffer; and a processing device configured to: calculate a first time point when the buffer overflows from an input rate of the input data to the buffer, and determine a second time point by using the input rate, an update amount of the state data per unit time, a first throughput of the backup processing on the state data from the first storage device to the second storage device, a second throughput of restoration processing on the state data from the second storage device to the first storage device, and a third throughput of the processing, the second time being a time point that is before the first time point and when backup processing on the state data is to be started.

Abstract: An apparatus performs transmission and reception of messages via which a plurality of services coordinate with each other in a message control system. The apparatus integrates a plurality of messages into a first message, based on relationships between message transmission and message reception caused by the plurality of services, and transmits the first message to another information processing device in the message control system. The apparatus receives a second message integrated by another information processing device, and decompose the received second message into messages including a third message. The apparatus further integrates the decomposed third message and a fourth message into a fifth message, and transfers the integrated fifth message to another information processing device.
