CENTRAL SERVICE ALLOCATION SYSTEM

摘要

The disclosure relates to a service allocation system in which servers advertise services they offer to the system and clients ask for services to consume. Both the clients and the servers interact with the allocation system using database calls to at least one of a plurality of databases. Servers that provide services update the current status of a service periodically. High-availability and load-balancing of the services can be achieved. The allocation system can be used for a single type of service or multiple different types of services.
