DISTRIBUTED TECHNIQUE FOR CASCADED DATA AGGREGATION IN PARALLEL FASHION

摘要

Methods and apparatus are provided that access and present information associated with dynamic communities in an efficient and highly scalable manner. Dynamic communities are formed based on a trigger, which may be a command, a request for information, or an event notification. An apparatus may receive notification of the trigger and form a dynamic community from one or more data sources, such as social-networking websites and enterprise data sources. Sub-triggers may be generated based on the trigger and the dynamic community. The sub-triggers may be sent from the apparatus. A result may then be generated based on received responses to the sub-triggers.
