Abstract
A publish/subscribe system is non-disruptively reconfigured, such that messages are not lost during the reconfiguration. After reconfiguration is initiated, messages that are to be delivered within the publish/subscribe system are forwarded using either an old path or a new path. That is, until the reconfigured system is stabilized, some messages may be delivered using the old path, while other messages are delivered using a new path. After the system is stabilized, the new path is used for delivery of all the messages, until another reconfiguration is initiated.
