The information dissemination in mobile networks is an important but complex and challenging problem. Designing suitable communication primitives for these systems is critical. One of these primitives is the publish/subscribe paradigm. The publish/subscribe is a strategy to establish communication between the information providers (publishers) and information consumers (subscribers) in a distributed system. Our work focuses on an appropriate distributed infrastructure suitable for a scalable

Moreover, we propose a general deterministic information di usion scheme for mobile systems. The three main features of our communication scheme are the following: First, our scheme is well-adapted to scalable systems without compromising any subscription criteria or network reorganization. Second, we maintain the anonymity o f the distributed system | i n order to maintain the network structure, we need only local information. Third, our solution is fully decentralized and modular, thus making it appropriate for practical implementations.
