Abstract

A load balancing system for use in a distributed computing environment. An event publish and subscribe model implements the load balancing system. In the system, at least one client object publishes an event for response by a number of server hosts. A load balancing object monitors the load to the server hosts to determine a balanced distribution for the event.
