Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and methodology to facilitate automated delivery of notifications to notification sinks while mitigating interface development and deployment within the framework of a notification platform. One or more message delivery channels are provided with the notification platform that can be associated with an extension component for delivering the notifications. The extension component automatically wraps an underlying message in a protocol associated with a notification sink such as wrapping a message post from a notification source within a common delivery protocol. The extension component can inherit delivery properties from an underlying platform interface associated with the delivery channels in order to mitigate coding and development details involved when utilizing or invoking the platform interface.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a subscription modeling system and methodology. A query processor receives subscription query and subscriber information and transforms the query and subscriber information into data. An index component propagates at least one database with the transformed data; and a matching component that associates the transformed data with event data to generate a database of notification data that can be delivered to subscribers. The invention provides for abstracting subscription and subscriber information (as well as event information if desired) to high-level classes (e.g., data fields)—thus the invention provides for modeling such notification related information as data. Subscription applications can thus be developed at high levels wherein complex subscription queries and subscriber information can be defined as data fields for example. Databases in accordance with the data fields can be propagated with subscription/subscriber specific information.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a notification system architecture for hosting subscription applications. The architecture models applications as set oriented data concept to achieve matching efficiency and employs a transactional database as a queue to provide reliable services. Additionally, the architecture consists of distinct components such as an event provider, notification engine, and distributor that are able to be coupled/decoupled and replicated as necessary to enable system scalability.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and methodology for modeling subscription information and/or subscriber information as data. An interface provides for developers of subscription applications to enter subscription queries and subscriber information. The interface includes an application definition file (ADF) by which the developers can specify subscription application specific information; and an execution engine that processes the ADF by reading contents thereof and building application specific databases from schema information corresponding to the processed ADF.
