The efficient and real-time exploitation of large streaming data sources and
stored data poses many questions regarding the underlying platform, including: 1)
Performance - how can the potential performance of the platform be exploited
effectively by arbitrary applications; 2) Guarantees - how can the platform
support guarantees regarding processing streaming data sources and accessing
stored data; and 3) Scalability - how can scalable platforms and applications be
built. The fundamental challenge addressed by the project is to enable
application development using an industrial strength programming language that
enables the necessary performance and performance guarantees required for
real-time exploitation of large streaming data sources and stored data. The
project's vision is to create a Java Platform that can support a range of
high-performance Intelligent Information Management application domains that seek
real-time processing of streaming data, or real-time access to stored data. This
will be achieved by developing Java and UML modelling technologies to provide: 1)
Architectural Patterns - using predefined libraries and annotation technology to
extend Java with new directives for exploiting streaming I/O and parallelism on
high performance platforms; 2) Virtual Machine Extensions - using class libraries
to extend the JVM for scalable platforms; 3) Java Acceleration - performance
optimisation is achieved using Java JIT to Hardware (FPGA), especially to enable
real-time processing of fast streaming data; 4) Performance Guarantees - will be
provided for common application real-time requirements; and 5) Modelling - of
persistence and real-time within UML / MARTE to enable effective development,
code generation and capture of real-time system properties. The project will use
financial and web streaming case studies from industrial partners to provide
industrial data and data volumes, and to evaluate the developed technologies.
