Abstract:
Event-based systems follow an interaction model based on three decoupling dimensions: space, time, and synchronization. However, event producers and consumers are tightly coupled by event semantics: types, attributes, and values. That limits scalability in large-scale heterogeneous environments with significant variety such as the Internet of Things (IoT) due to difficulties in establishing semantic agreements at such scales. This paper studies this problem and investigates the suitability of different traditional and emerging approaches for tackling the issue.
