Automatic subscriptions in publish-subscribe systems
In this paper, we describe how to automate the process of subscribing to complex publish-subscribe systems. We present a proof-of-concept prototype, in which we analyze Web browsing history to generate zero-click subscriptions to Web feeds and video news stories. Our experience so far indicates that user attention data is a promising source of data for automating the subscription process
A schema-based P2P network to enable publish-subscribe for multimedia content in open hypermedia systems
Open Hypermedia Systems (OHS) aim to provide efficient dissemination, adaptation and integration of hyperlinked multimedia resources. Content available in Peer-to-Peer (P2P) networks could add significant value to OHS provided that challenges for efficient discovery and prompt delivery of rich and up-to-date content are successfully addressed. This paper proposes an architecture that enables the operation of OHS over a P2P overlay network of OHS servers based on semantic annotation of (a) peer OHS servers and of (b) multimedia resources that can be obtained through the link services of the OHS. The architecture provides efficient resource discovery. Semantic query-based subscriptions over this P2P network can enable access to up-to-date content, while caching at certain peers enables prompt delivery of multimedia content. Advanced query resolution techniques are employed to match different parts of subscription queries (subqueries). These subscriptions can be shared among different interested peers, thus increasing the efficiency of multimedia content dissemination
An active, ontology-driven network service for Internet collaboration
Web portals have emerged as an important means of collaboration on the WWW, and the integration of ontologies promises to make them more accurate in how they serve usersâ collaboration and information location requirements. However, web portals are essentially a centralised architecture resulting in difficulties supporting seamless roaming between portals and collaboration between groups supported on different portals. This paper proposes an alternative approach to collaboration over the web using ontologies that is de-centralised and exploits content-based networking. We argue that this approach promises a user-centric, timely, secure and location-independent mechanism, which is potentially more scaleable and universal than existing centralised portals
Approximative filtering of XML documents in a publish/subscribe system
Publish/subscribe systems filter published documents and inform their subscribers about documents matching their interests. Recent systems have focussed on documents or messages sent in XML format. Subscribers have to be familiar with the underlying XML format to create meaningful subscriptions. A service might support several providers with slightly differing formats, e.g., several publishers of books. This makes the definition of a successful subscription almost impossible. This paper proposes the use of an approximative language for subscriptions. We introduce the design of our ApproXFilter algorithm for approximative filtering in a publish/subscribe system. We present the results of our performance analysis of a prototypical implementation
A Hybrid Multicast-Unicast Infrastructure for Efficient Publish-Subscribe in Enterprise Networks
One of the main challenges in building a large scale publish-subscribe
infrastructure in an enterprise network, is to provide the subscribers with the
required information, while minimizing the consumed host and network resources.
Typically, previous approaches utilize either IP multicast or point-to-point
unicast for efficient dissemination of the information.
In this work, we propose a novel hybrid framework, which is a combination of
both multicast and unicast data dissemination. Our hybrid framework allows us
to take the advantages of both multicast and unicast, while avoiding their
drawbacks. We investigate several algorithms for computing the best mapping of
publishers' transmissions into multicast and unicast transport.
Using extensive simulations, we show that our hybrid framework reduces
consumed host and network resources, outperforming traditional solutions. To
insure the subscribers interests closely resemble those of real-world settings,
our simulations are based on stock market data and on recorded IBM WebShpere
