Abstract

Distributed event routing has emerged as a key technology for achieving scalable information dissemination. In particular it has been used as preferential communication backbone within publish/subscribe communication system. Its aim is to reduce the network and computational overhead per event diffusion to a set of interested recipients. This talk introduces to modern publish/subscribe systems through an overview on current techniques for event dissemination. We then focus on a few approaches developed in Rome for event based routing, and possible overlay infrastructures in wired and mobile systems.
