Adaptive enterprise service bus (ESB) runtime system and method

An adaptive enterprise service bus (ESB) runtime method, said method comprising:

• receiving, by a computer system, a model for an enterprise system bus (ESB), said model comprising a plurality of paths between composable units, at least one of said paths comprising a plurality of branches;
• building, by said computer system, executable instantiations of at least some of said paths and said branches;
• executing, by said computer system and during each running of a runtime system, at least some of said executable instantiations so as to allow communication between said composable units;
• during said executing of said at least some of said executable instantiations, collecting, by monitors in communication with said computer system, metrics associated with said paths and said branches;
• and
• performing, by said computer system, a cost-benefit analysis based on said metrics,
• said building further comprises building, at a restart of said runtime system and based on results of cost-benefit analysis, executable instantiations of only selected ones of said paths and said branches.

A computer program product comprising a non-transitory storage medium readable by a computer and storing computer usable program code executable by said computer to perform an adaptive enterprise service bus (ESB) runtime method, said adaptive enterprise service bus (ESB) runtime method comprising:

• receiving a model for an enterprise system bus (ESB), said model comprising a plurality of paths between composable units, at least one of said paths comprising a plurality of branches;
• building, by said computer, executable instantiations of at least some of said paths and said branches;
• executing, during each running of a runtime system, at least some of said executable instantiations so as to allow communication between said composable units;
• during said executing of said at least some of said executable instantiations, collecting, by monitors in communication with said computer, metrics associated with said paths and said branches;
• and
• performing, by said computer, a cost-benefit analysis based on said metrics,
• said building further comprising building, at a restart of said runtime system and based on results of a cost-benefit analysis, executable instantiations of only selected ones of said paths and said branches.
