Adaptive method for polling

摘要

A method is disclosed for transferring data from a data source to a service broker. The method includes providing a data source and a service broker; providing a moderator for receiving the data transferred by the data source; providing a data store for storing data received by the moderator; and providing a communications module for transferring data from the data store. Data is transferred from the data source to the moderator and stored by the moderator in the data store. The polling frequency is adaptively determined and the communications module is polled for the data on the data store and the data is forwarded to the service broker, whereby data is transferred between the data source and the service broker.
