Event-based interaction is recognized as being well suited for loosely coupled distributed applications. Current distributed content-based event notifications services are often architectured to operate over WANs (wide area networks). Additionally, one to one transport layer communication primitives are used. As a result, these services are not suitable for (parts of) applications having a combination of high event notification rates and locally a large number of interested parties for the same event notifications.
