Description:

omniNotify is a multi-threaded implementation of the CORBA Notification
Service (CosNotification), a feature-enriched version of the CORBA Event
Service (CosEvents).omniNotify offers asynchronous, decoupled,
event-based communication between distributed and heterogeneous applications.

omniNotify was developed by a group of researchers at AT&T Labs in
Florham Park, New Jersey. Our main design goal for omniNotify was
scalability: we wanted a service that scales well w.r.t. both number
of connected consumers and number (and complexity) of filters registered
by consumers. To achieve this goal, the implementation exploits parallelism
during filter evaluation and dispatching of events to consumers.

omniNotify is built on top of OmniORB, a free high performance C++ CORBA ORB
was developed by researchers at the lab which was originally the Olivetti
research lab (ORL), then the Olivetti/Oracle lab, and finally AT&T
Labs Cambridge. It is now maintained by Duncan Grisby. omniNotify's good
performance is due in part to the excellent performance of OmniORB.
