Presentation: "Middleware Performance and Scalability - When they Do (and Don't) Matter"

Time: Monday 14:00 - 14:45

Location: To be announced

Abstract: Middleware performance is seen as the number one evaluation criterion when choosing middleware, despite the fact that other factors are far more important for many projects. This presentation discusses the importance of these factors, shows some of the pitfalls of benchmarking middleware, and presents performance and scalability results for a number of popular middleware platforms.
