Controlling historical information dissemination in publish/subscribe
Jatinder Pal Singh, David M. Eyers, Jean Bacon · 2008
Application environments dealing with sensitive information require mechanisms to define the circumstances for data disclosure. In event-based environments, access control typically concerns messages (events) as they occur. However, scenarios exist in which the retrieval of historical information is required. The publish/subscribe paradigm decouples producers from consumers, where information from numerous sources can satisfy an information request (subscription). These sources may be unknown to subscribers.
