Abstract

A system and method are disclosed for pseudo-synchronous communication in an asynchronous messaging network. The system includes a forward pipeline for transmitting asynchronous request messages from a sender system to the receiver system, and a backward pipeline for transmitting asynchronous acknowledgement messages from the receiver system to the sender system. Each acknowledgement message includes a reference to a request message and a result of an event associated with the request message.
