Abstract

This paper proposes a communication framework (CM) that supports both of synchronous and asynchronous communication between a client and a server. Original CM is an event-based asynchronous communication framework and provided applications with communication services only in the asynchronous manner. The extended CM provides synchronous communication mechanism using a non-blocking socket channel. Because applications can use both the asynchronous and synchronous communications, they can apply communication services to broader contexts. For performance analysis, we compared the asynchronous and synchronous methods with the quantitative experiment. The experiment result shows that the server-response delay of the synchronous communication is shorter than that of the asynchronous case.
