Abstract

The concept of SOA and its enabling technologies such as ESB are becoming more and more popular. This enables services that have been built on various platforms to be used. Although the number of available services is growing, most ESB implementations only allow static routing, i.e. the service that messages are sent to is pre-determined and fixed. Thus, even though there may be multiple services that have the same function, only one or two may be used. We thus propose to incorporate load balancing feature into an ESB. Unlike conventional load balancing, our approach does not balance among replicated services; we conduct balancing among services that may be provided by different providers. In order to realize this, we introduce the concept of service type. We also show the results of an experiment.
