Abstract

The three main pub/sub systems – type-based, content-based and topic-based networks allow for normalised subscriptions and publications using a combination of push/pull message delivery. Knowledge-based Networks (KBN) extends content-based networks by allowing subscriptions to be matched not only on the contents of messages, but also on some semantics of the message contents [1,2,3]. This creates a fuller, richer and more meaningful system whereby publishers and subscribers can be matched using more a expressive subscription mechanism. Here we discuss how a Knowledge-Based Network implementation was extended to support node clustering based on subscription semantics, thereby improving performance and scalability.
