Abstract
A notification relay service architecture can utilize one or more computing platforms that are configured to rely on a connectivity descriptor. The connectivity descriptor can express permissions of various users of the notification relay service to publish to and/or listen to notifications from one or more “exchange points.” The notification relay service can receive notifications from publishers intended for various exchange points and push notifications at exchange points to users without need for the notification relay service components to manage or even understand the underlying relationship(s) between publishers and subscribers. Server-based and/or client-based evaluations of a client's current context can be used to control whether and how notifications are relayed to/from the client.
