Brief announcement: constructing fault-tolerant overlay networks for topic-based publish/subscribe

Published: 22 July 2013 Publication History

Abstract

We incorporate fault tolerance in designing reliable and scalable overlay networks to support topic-based pub/sub communication. We propose the MinAvg- kTCO problem parameterized by k: use the minimum number of edges to create a k-topic-connected overlay (kTCO) for pub/sub systems, i.e., for each topic the sub-overlay induced by nodes interested in the topic is k-connected.
We prove the NP-completeness of MinAvg-kTCO and show a lower-bound for the hardness of its approximation. With regard to MinAvg-2TCO, we present GM2, the first polynomial time algorithm with an approximation ratio. With regards to MinAvg-kTCO, where k ≥ 2, we propose a simple and efficient heuristic algorithm, namely HararyPT, that aligns nodes across different sub-overlays.
We experimentally demonstrate the scalability of GM2 and HararyPT under representative pub/sub workloads.
