Fuego toolkit: a modular framework for content-based routing

ABSTRACT

The open source Fuego event service and toolkit were developed in the Fuego Core project between 2002 and 2007. The event service addresses the challenges in the mobile computing environment by providing an asynchronous content-based publish/subscribe system that supports client mobility. A key component of the architecture is the event router, which connects the publishers and subscribers and mediates event messages between them. The Fuego router consists of a number of new data structures for filter-based routing tables that can be configured for different environments. In this paper, we present an overview of the system and examine the modular router building blocks.
