Event Scalability VAG

This is an initial draft so scope and focus are still fairly open. Please add comments to the Talk:Scalability VAG if you have slightly different viewpoints so we can try to converge on a common view. This discussion could also expose other similar VAG that are needed in this area --Morgaine Dinova 02:21, 18 October 2007 (PDT)

Purpose

The Event Scalability Viewpoint Advocacy Group exists to provide input to the archtectural design process in the area of increasing the scalability of regions to hold large-scale events.

More specifically, the Event Scalability VAG is concerned with identifying the key issues of importance to event scalability, determining the event scaling pressures as numerically as possible, establishing both the end limits and realistic near-term goals for event scalability and scaling, and ensuring that these concerns are addressed in the evolving architectural design.

This VAG is a subgroup of the umbrella Scalability VAG.

See the Architecture Working Group and the Viewpoint Advocacy Groups for more information.

Areas addressed by this viewpoint

• Scalability of the combined client and server systems for support of mass-participant events.

Areas not addressed by this viewpoint

• See the parent Scalability VAG.

Source of Viewpoint

• See the parent Scalability VAG.

No additional existing sources for this viewpoint have (yet) been sought. This viewpoint is however highly reusable, and therefore existing sources are very likely to exist and should be investigated.

General concerns addressed by this viewpoint

See Scalability VAG.

Dimensions of scalability

1. Server-side scalability for events
2. Client-side scalability for events

Specific concerns within this viewpoint

Here we define the specific concerns relevant to event scalability.
