A peer-to-peer approach to content-based publish/subscribe

Publish/subscribe systems are successfully used to decouple distributed applications. However, their efficiency is closely tied to the topology of the underlying network, the design of which has been neglected. Peer-to-peer network topologies can offer inherently bounded delivery depth, load sharing, and self-organisation. In this paper, we present a contentbased publish/subscribe system routed over a peer-to-peer topology graph. The implications of combining these approaches are explored and a particular implementation using elements from Rebeca and Chord is proven correct.
