ADAPTIVE METHOD FOR POLLING

摘要

A method is disclosed for transferring data from a data source (202) to a service broker (208). The method includes providing a data source (202) and a service broker (208); providing a moderator (232) for receiving the data transferred by the data source (202); providing a data source (202) for storing data received by the moderator (232); and providing a communications module (250) for transferring data from the data store (238). Data is transferred from the data source (202) to the moderator (232) and stored by the moderator (232) in the data store. The polling frequency is adaptively determined and the communications module (250) is polled for the data on the data store (238) and the data is forwarded to the service broker (208), whereby data is transferred between the data source (202) and the service broker (208).
