Abstract
There are many applications where a timely response to an
important event is needed. Often such response can require
significant computation and possibly communication, and it
can be very challenging to complete it within the time-frame
the response is needed. At the same time, there could be
application-specific flexibility in the computation that may be
desired.
This paper presents the design, implementation, and eval-
uation of a middleware that can support such applications.
Each of the services in our target applications could have one
or more service parameters, which can be modified, within the
pre-specified ranges, by the middleware. The middleware en-
ables the time-critical event handling to achieve the maximum
