Recently, coordinationmiddleware systemshave evolved in order to describe coordination protocols in business process scenarios. This evolution proposes the use of three main components, being one of them a message broker to handle collaborative interactions among business processes. In a previous work, we proposed a framework for coordination in open BPM systems which used a centralised Linda-based implementation of amessage broker. The use of a centralised implementation leads to some common problems which a distributed model tries to solve in an efficient manner. In this paper, we present
DRLinda
, a distributed and dynamic implementation of the message broker based on the RLinda model, which improves and extends the RLinda’s features and can be configured at runtime, being suitable formore complex and highly-dynamic business process scenarios. The performance of the proposed implementation is empirically evaluated on a cluster computing environment.
