Abstract

A system, computer program product and method of processing function calls in a distributed application environment are provided. A number of function calls for communication from a sending application to a receiving application are queued in a database. Dependencies among at least a portion of the function calls that are being queued are determined while the function calls are stored in the queues. A schedule of execution of the function calls is then generated based on the determined dependencies.
