Patent number: 8593968Abstract: A method of managing information system resources to provide a message flow having a consistent level of quality of service (QoS) within and across a plurality of interconnected middleware domains is described. The method includes receiving a QoS message from a first QoS manager expressing at least one QoS requirement, translating the at least one QoS requirement to at least one parameter specific to a messaging service that communicatively couples multiple middleware domains, creating a client connection between a first middleware domain and the messaging service for receiving the message flow, transmitting the QoS message to a second middleware domain, and creating a client connection between the messaging service and the second middleware domain for transmitting the message flow.Type: GrantFiled: May 13, 2011Date of Patent: November 26, 2013Assignee: The Boeing CompanyInventors: Rodolfo A.

Patent number: 8046464Abstract: A method of managing resources of an information system relative to clients of the system. A quality of service (QoS) message is received from a client expressing QoS requirements as parameter values. A contract is established with the client for quality of service based on the one or more parameter values. One or more resources of the system are allocated to the client based on the contract. This method enables uniform resource management and polymorphic resource allocation across multiple middleware platforms.Type: GrantFiled: March 10, 2004Date of Patent: October 25, 2011Assignee: The Boeing CompanyInventors: Guijun Wang, Alice Chen, Changzhou Wang, Casey Fung, Stephen Uczekaj, Yichi C Pierce
