Abstract

A method, system and computer program product for dynamically routing messages in a publish/subscribe system. A messaging application receives messages from sensors (e.g., road condition sensors). Upon analyzing the messages using data analytics, an event (e.g., icy road condition) may be correlated with the analyzed messages. In such a scenario, a temporal topic based on the triggered event is created. Furthermore, a temporal publication (e.g., “icy road condition near exit 40”) and a temporal subscription are created. Potential subscribers to be associated with the temporal subscription are identified by using either geo-location information or social media information. Once those subscribers are identified, they are associated with the temporal subscription. The temporal publication is then published to the subscribers associated with the temporal subscription. In this manner, messages are dynamically routed to the appropriate subscribers that may have previously been excluded based on dynamically created temporal topics, subscriptions and publications.

Claims (31)

1. A method for dynamically routing messages in a publish-subscribe system, the method comprising:

receiving one or more messages from one or more sensors;

analyzing said one or more messages using data analytics;

correlating, by a processor, one or more of said one or more analyzed messages with an event;

creating a temporal topic for targeted potential subscribers located within a geo-location area in response to said one or more of said one or more analyzed messages being correlated with said event;

creating a temporal publication based on said event;

creating a temporal subscription to subscribe to said created temporal topic;

associating subscribers to said temporal subscription that are located within said geo-location area; and

publishing said temporal publication to said subscribers associated with said temporal subscription.

2. The method as recited in claim 1 further comprising:

projecting a polygon over said geo-location area of said targeted potential subscribers.

3. The method as recited in claim 1 , wherein said event corresponds to a driving condition meeting an alert threshold.

4. The method as recited in claim 1 , wherein said one or more messages received from said one or more sensors comprises one or more of the following: biometric, road conditions, driver activity, weather information and geolocation.

5. The method as recited in claim 1 , wherein said one or more sensors reside within an automobile.

6. The method as recited in claim 1 further comprising:

removing said temporal topic, said temporal publication and said temporal subscription after a period of time has elapsed.

7. A method for dynamically routing messages in a publish-subscribe system, the method comprising:

receiving one or more messages from one or more sensors;

analyzing said one or more messages using data analytics;

correlating, by a processor, one or more of said one or more analyzed messages with an event;

creating a temporal topic in response to said one or more of said one or more analyzed messages being correlated with said event;

creating a temporal publication based on said event;

creating a temporal subscription to subscribe to said created temporal topic;

identifying subscribers based on social media to be associated with said temporal subscription; and

publishing said temporal publication to said subscribers associated with said temporal subscription.

8. The method as recited in claim 7 , wherein said subscribers are identified to be associated with said temporal subscription based on said social media using natural language processing.

9. The method as recited in claim 7 , wherein said event corresponds to a topic of interest to said subscribers that are identified to be associated with said temporal subscription, wherein said subscribers that are identified to be associated with said temporal subscription did not previously register said topic of interest with a messaging application to receive messages related to said topic of interest.

10. The method as recited in claim 7 , wherein said one or more messages received from said one or more sensors comprises one or more of the following: biometric, road conditions, driver activity, weather information and geolocation.

11. The method as recited in claim 7 , wherein said one or more sensors reside within an automobile.

12. The method as recited in claim 7 further comprising:

removing said temporal topic, said temporal publication and said temporal subscription after a period of time has elapsed.
