Wide area oriented network active publish/subscribe system design framework

Event space partition technology changes the traditional basic interaction model of the content-based publish/subscribe system and its related implementation strategies, and enables a class of system which is named active publish/subscribe system. In order to establish the integrity of active publish/subscribe system solutions, based on the analysis of active publish/subscribe system basic interaction model, an active publish/subscribe system design framework ACTPS (active publish/subscribe system) was proposed. ACTPS comprised six design models which were event model, subscription model, partition model, component model, routing model and matching model. Detailed description of key features and the core of implementation strategy of these models, and the linkages among the various models were presented. ACTPS provides the general reference model for designing and realization of active publish/subscribe system. It is also a theory foundation for further in-depth research and analysis of publish/subscribe system.
