We propose to create an event-based distributed system over peer-to-peer networks in a multi event broker model and to integrate other event-based systems in a unified interface and, in particular, to adapt to mobile computing environments and web services. Creating an event broker grid is a key design issue to provide reliability and scalability in an event-based distributed system. Event brokers can form a group to provide scalability at the cluster level, and a group of event brokers may then be linked together for geographic scaling. Dynamic grid formation is essential, including contextawareness and an infrastructure such as hierarchy and grouping for better performance. The proposed system is for wide area networks and requires service discovery, fault tolerance, and security. The event broker approach is attractive to integrate generic event-based systems with mobile computing, because it offers to combine heterogeneous messaging systems under a unified interface. Constrained mobile devices can take advantage of resource sharing from middleware systems. Non-programmable devices can be integrated through a gateway onto event broker systems. An-other important goal in this research is to adapt an Event Condition Action (ECA) engine for running components that are required to perform active rule computations within brokers. Combining ECA-rules, complex event composition, and detection with event-based systems will provide a sound active information framework for workflow construction.
