The convergence of technologies and information-driven applications require a middleware that supports data streams. This middleware needs to interpret, aggregate, filter and analyze streams of messages usually in a distributed environment. Publish/Subscribe middleware basically deals with some of these issues, but it is typically monolithic and includes only a subset of features. A problem arises when users want to find a middleware that completely fulfills their application requirements. Based on our experience, we propose a framework that allows the configuration/adaptation of a Pub/Sub solution based on a reusable and extensible set of components.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
