Abstract

In this work we propose a heuristic-based strategy to modify the broker overlay of a multi-broker publish-subscribe system for optimizing the message flow. The approach we adopt is inspired by self-organization in biology and makes the broker overlay behave as an autonomic distributed system. We define our approach in the case of a topic-based publish-subscribe system, and show experimentally that it is able to reduce the overall network traffic in a faster way when compared to similar approaches.
