<p>This invention provides a software solution for synchronizing distributed computer software applications and components that share information. Each distributed computer software application is notified of relevant changes to shared information in an efficient and timely manner. Such software applications register interest in the actions performed on data objects, to notify other software applications of actions performed, and to receive notification events of the actions performed by other software applications which have a registered interest in common data objects. The distributed event notification system of the present invention provides a lightweight solution that does not require on specific distributed software architectures or frameworks. The software applications need only support a small software interface that imposes very little overhead in terms of computing resources, performance and network bandwidth.</p> |
