Abstract
A method for routing a subscription request defined by an event filter. The method includes parsing the event filter into an evaluation tree having at least one subexpression, locating the at least one subexpression and determining if the at least one subexpression includes a node specific field. If the at least one subexpression includes a node specific field, the method includes creating a list of nodes and event manager contact information and transmitting the subscription request to at least one event manager located on a node that is included on a list of nodes.
