Knowledge-based networking

Abstract

Content-based networks (CBN), such as [1--3], have formed around the necessity to match a varying subscriber base to that of a networks publication creators. This "de-coupling" of the parties involved in the communication process allows for message routing to be conducted based on who is interested in a particular message, through a routing table based on subscriber's filters applied to each message, rather than flooding the network in the search for interested possible parties. The underlying message routing structure allows for a message inserted anywhere in the network to propagate across the network based on positive matches to filters (subscriptions) until each and every client interested in the message has been notified in an efficient event-based manner.
