Corona: A High Performance Publish-Subscribe System for the World Wide Web
january 2008 by randombit
Despite the abundance of frequently changing information, the Web lacks a publish-subscribe interface for delivering updates to clients. The use of naïve polling for detecting updates leads to poor performance and limited scalability as clients do not de
