Publish/subscribe notification middleware for vehicular networks
Ilias Leontiadis · 2007
There is a large number of interesting applications for vehicular networks: traffic information dissemination, warnings, free parking spots finders, fuel prices advertising, etc. The Publish/ Subscribe (P/S) communication paradigm enables the application developers to easily design flexible notification systems. Furthermore, it enables the drivers/vehicles to indicate their interests about certain types of notifications (e.g. receive warnings concerning traffic jams only within 1km from the vehicle's route). And finally, P/S is an asynchronous communication protocol (spatial and temporal decoupling) that is suitable for the delay-tolerant network conditions.
