Definition

Publish/Subscribe (a.k.a. pub/sub) software systems constitute a facility for asynchronous filtering of information. Users, consumers of information, present the system with continuous queries, coined subscriptions. Sources of data generation (producers) present the system with data-carrying publication events. The pub/sub system infrastructure is responsible for (asynchronously) matching the publication events to all relevant subscriptions. Hence, in essence, this infrastructure filters all available information for every user and presents to each user only the information units (s)he has defined as relevant. As such, a pub/sub infrastructure can play a vital role in large-scale data systems, with huge volumes of data, shielding users from the burden of always actively searching for and retrieving relevant information units.

Peer-to-Peer (P2P) systems are software systems, which in fact constitute overlaynetworks, which are built over physical networks, such as the...
