The Information Bus: an architecture for extensible distributed systems
Open accessAbstract
Research can rarely be performed on large-scale, distributed systems at the level of thousands of workstations. In this paper, we describe the motivating constraints, design principles, and architecture for an extensible, distributed system operating in such an environment. The constraints include continuous operation, dynamic system evolution, and integration with extant systems. The Information Bus, our solution, is a novel synthesis of four design principles: core communication protocols have minimal semantics, objects are self-describing, types can be dynamically defined, and communication is anonymous. The current implementation provides both flexibility and high performance, and has been proven in several commercial environments, including integrated circuit fabrication plants and brokerage/trading floors.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
