Challenges for content-based publish/subscribe systems include efficient subscription management and event matching, load balancing, and efficient and scalable event delivery. This paper presents an efficient and scalable framework for content-based publish/subscribe systems. We propose using K-D trees to dynamically partition and organize subscriptions, thereby preserving subscription locality, minimizing event matching load and ensuring load balance across nodes. We propose an efficient event

... delivery mechanism that cleverly exploits embedded trees in distributed hash tables to disseminate events. We show that the latency of event publication and delivery is low. The event delivery mechanism can deliver events to a large number of subscribers at low latency and overhead, consuming modest bandwidth. .
