Abstract

The importance of real-time and data-driven notification has been growing for social services and Intelligent Transporting System (ITS). As an advanced version of Pub/Sub systems, publish-process-subscribe systems with MEC (Multi-access Edge Computing), where published messages are spooled and processed on edge servers, have been proposed. In this paper, we present a topic-based publish-process-subscribe system that allows a topic to be managed on multiple edge servers so that messages are processed near publishers and transferred to subscribers immediately. However, managing each topic on numerous edge servers can cause exhaustion of storage resources on edge servers. We introduce a simple topic allocation method on edge servers to discuss the problem. Experiments show the feasibility of our proposed system.
