Abstract:
A computer system performs decentralized collection and aggregation of data. A plurality of requests for data are transmitted, by a data collection server, to a corresponding plurality of remote servers, wherein the plurality of remote server submit responses to the plurality of requests for data to a distributed data structure. The distributed data structure is accessed, by the data collection server, to retrieve the plurality of responses to the plurality of requests. The plurality of responses are aggregated, by the data collection server, into a message and the message is transmitted to an entity requesting data collection. Embodiments of the present invention further include a method and program product for performing decentralized collection and aggregation of data in substantially the same manner described above.
