Abstract
A message is buffered and processing statistics are associated with the message, including characterizations of whether a process instance is to process the message, a number of process instances handling the message, and a number of process instances that have processed the message. A process instance may be generated to process content of the message depending on the message. The message may be dequeued based on the processing statistics. For example, if the processing statistics indicate that no process instances are handling the message and no process instance is to process content of the message. Also, if the content of the message is to be processed by a threshold number of process instances, the message is only dequeued if the processing statistics indicate that the threshold number of process instances have processed the content of the message.
