DESCRIPTION:Message-oriented middleware (MOM) is at the core o
 f a vast number of financial services and telco ap
 plications\, and is gaining increasing traction in
  other industries\, such as manufacturing\, transp
 ortation\, health-care and supply chain management
 . There is a strong interest in the end user and a
 nalyst communities for a standardized benchmark su
 ite for evaluating the performance and scalability
  of MOM. In this talk\, we will present the new SP
 ECjms2007 benchmark which is the world’s first ind
 ustry-standard benchmark specialized for MOM. In a
 ddition to providing standard workload and metrics
  for MOM performance\, the benchmark provides a fl
 exible performance analysis framework that allows 
 users to customize the workload according to their
  requirements. SPECjms2007 is based on a novel app
 lication scenario modeling the supply chain of a s
 upermarket company. The participants involved are 
 the supermarket company\, its stores\, its distrib
 ution centers and its suppliers. It offers an exce
 llent basis for defining interactions that stress 
 different subsets of the functionality offered by 
 MOM servers\, e.g. different message types as well
  as both P2P and pub/sub communication. The scenar
 io also offers a natural way to scale the workload
 \, e.g. by scaling the number of Supermarkets (hor
 izontal) or by scaling the amount of products sold
  per Supermarket (vertical). We will present a wor
 kload characterization of the benchmark with the g
 oal to i) to help users understand the internal co
 mponents of the SPECjms2007 workload and the way t
 hey are scaled\, ii) to show how the workload can 
 be customized to exercise and evaluate selected as
 pects of MOM performance. We will discuss how the 
 various features supported by the benchmark can be
  exploited for in-depth performance analysis of MO
 M infrastructures.
