"Conditional Messaging and  Dependency-Spheres are novel extensions to standard middleware for messaging and object transaction processing."

"Conditional Messaging allows an application to define, monitor, and evalutate various conditions on messages, such as time constraints on the receipt or the processing of a message ..."

"Conditional Messaging uniquely shifts the responsibilities for implementing the management of conditions on messages from an application to the middleware."

"Dependency-Spheres extend the conventional model of distributed object transactions to include conventional messages."

"A D-Sphere allows

  • to demarcate object requests of standard object transactions and a set of conditional messages in a single atomic unit-of work
  • to send messages to remote destinations at any point in time during the course of an ongoing transaction
  • to make the outcome of object requests and object transactions dependent on the outcome of conditional messages, and vice versa"
