Interest Driven Large Scale Pub/Sub Systems
P2P overlay networks is an effective means for building Internet-scale distributed applications, and in particular those involving group-based information sharing. A key pre-requisite for supporting such applications on top of the overlays is the ability to efficiently distribute multicast messages to multiple subscribers dispersed across numerous multicast groups. In this talk I will present Gravity, a P2P publish/subscribe system that achieves that by dynamically organizing peers with similar subscriptions into dissemination structures which preserve locality in the subscription space. In doing so, Gravity is able to significantly reduce the message propagation costs by taking advantage of the subscription correlation (as found in many large-scale group-based applications).
I will also present my recent work in SICS on a similar publish/subscribe system which operates on top of a gossip-based P2P overlays.
