Abstract
A method, storage medium and system for routing data messages between a plurality of processes running on a plurality of computers connected to a network, at least one routing process acting as an interface between each application process and other application processes and routing processes, each data message including data and indicating at least one property of the data, including at least one routing process that receives at least one interest message of at least one application process and incorporates information from the interest message into a data structure. Each interest message has information including the identification of at least one property of the type of data messages that the respective application process is interested in receiving. A first routing process receives a first data message from a first application process, compares at least one property of the first data message with information included in its data structure and determines which among the plurality of application processes is interested in receiving the first data message.
