3. Scalability of Pub/Sub Most traditional pub/sub systems are geared towards small scale deployment –E.g., Isis MDS, TIB, MQSeries, Gryphon New generation of applications… –Large data centers: Amazon, Google, Yahoo, EBay,… –RSS, feed/news readers, on-line stock trading and banking –Web 2.0, Second Life …drive dramatic growth in scale –10,000s of nodes, 1000s of topics, Internet-wide distribution Emerging systems address this trend using P2P techniques

5. Overlay Topologies for Pub/Sub “Good” overlay will allow for efficient and simple publication routing –Small routing tables, low load on relays, –low latency Ideally, overlay is topic-connected: i.e., one connected component for each topic-induced sub- graph –Most existing implementations construct topic-connected overlays

6. Topic-Connectivity Topics B,C,X,E are connected Topics A and D are disconnected N1 {B,C,D} N2 {A,B,C,E} N3 {A,D} {A,B,X} N5 {A,X} N4

7. Topic-Connectivity: Simple Solution N1 {B,C,D} N2 {A,B,C,E} N3 {A,D} {A,B,X} N5 {A,X} N4  Node degree grows linearly with the subscription size  Roughly twice as big as the subscription size for rings/trees

8. Scalability of the Simple Solution Negative impact on performance due to –CPU load: neighbor monitoring, message processing –Connection maintenance and header overhead –Memory overhead: per-link state associated with routing and/or compression schemes being used, etc.  Scalability barrier for large systems offering a wide range of subscription choices Can we do better?

10. The MinMax-TCO Problem Minimum Maximum Degree Topic-Connected Overlay (MinMax-TCO) problem: –For a set of nodes V, set of topics T, and I nterest: V  T  {true, false} –Construct a topic-connected overlay G with the minimum possible maximum degree TCO (decision version): –Decide whether there is a topic-connected overlay with maximum degree k (for a given k )

11. GM Algorithm The GM algorithm can have maximum degree of (n), when constant maximum degree overlay network exists.

12. Complexity of MinMax-TCO Lemma: MinMax-TCO(V,T,Interest,k)  NP Proof: Topic connectivity is verifyable in polynomial time Lemma: MinMax-TCO(V,T,Interest,k) is NP-hard Proof: 1.Define an auxiliary problem Single Node TCO (SN-TCO) which is to decide if there is a topic-connected overlay in which the degree of single given node  d 2.Set Cover is polynomially reducible to SN-TCO 3.SN-TCO is polynomially reducible to TCO Theorem: MinMax-TCO is NP-complete

13. Approximating MinMax-TCO The idea: exploiting subscription overlaps –Connecting the nodes with overlapping interests improves connectivity of several topics at once Overlay Design Algorithm (ODA): –Start from a singleton connected component for each (v, t)  V  T –At each iteration: add an edge that reduces the number of connected components for the biggest number of topics among the ones which increase maximum degree minimally –Stop, once there is a single connected component for each topic

20. ODA Running Time O(|V| 4  |T|) –At most |V| 2 iterations –At most |V| 2 edges inspected at each iteration –At most |T| steps to inspect an edge Can be optimized to run in O(|V| 2  |T|) –For each e  V  V, weight(e) = the number of connected components merged by e –At each iteration, output the heaviest edge and adjust the other edge weights accordingly –Stop once there are no more edges with weight > 0

21. Approximability Results Lemma: The number of edges in the overlay constructed by GM  log(|V|  |T|) OPT Proof: Similar to that of the approximation ratio of the greedy algorithm for Set Cover Uses Maximum Weighted Matching Uses Edge Coloring Theorem: No algorithm can approximate MinMax-TCO within a constant factor (unless P=NP) Proof: Existence of such an algorithm would imply existence of the constant factor approximation for Set Cover which is known to be impossible (unless P=NP)
