Content-Based Publish/Subscribe with Structural Reflection
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a pragmatic way of implementing content-based publish/subscribe in a strongly typed object-oriented language. In short, we use structural reflection to implement filter objects through which applications express their subscription patterns. Our approach is pragmatic in the sense that it alleviates the need for any specific subscription language. It preserves encapsulation of message objects and helps avoiding errors. We illustrate our approach in the context of Distributed Asynchronous Collections (DACs), programming abstractions for message-oriented interaction. DACs are implemented in Java, whose inherent reflective capabilities fully satisfy the requirements of our content-based subscription scheme. Our approach is however not limited to the context of DACs, but could be put to work easily in other existing event-based systems.

In recent years, the amount of information on the Internet has increased exponentially developing great interest in selective information dissemination systems. The publish/subscribe paradigm is particularly suited for designing systems for routing information and requests according to their content throughout wide-area network of brokers. Current publish/subscribe systems use limited syntax-ba...

The dissemination of various types of data faces ongoing challenges with the growing need of accessing manifold information. Since the interest in content is what drives data networks, some new technologies and thoughts attempt to cope with these challenges by developing content-based rather than address-based architectures. The Publish/Subscribe paradigm can be a promising approach toward cont...
متن کاملContent-Based Networking: A New Communication Infrastructure
We argue that the needs of many classes of modern applications, especially those targeted at mobile or wireless computing, demand the services of content-based publish/subscribe middleware, and that this middleware in turn demands a new kind of communication infrastructure for its proper implementation. We refer to this new communication infrastructure as content-based networking. The service m...
متن کاملCombining Flexibility and Scalability in a Peer-to-Peer Publish/Subscribe System
The content-based publish/subscribe model has been adopted by many services to deliver data between distributed users based on application-specific semantics. Two key issues in such systems, the semantic expressiveness of content matching and the scalability of the matching mechanism, are often found to be in conflict due to the complexity associated with content matching. In this paper, we pre...
