Chapter 5 Publish and Subscribe

This chapter introduces RTserver and RTclient, which allow many processes to easily communicate with each other using a publish-subscribe communication model. An RTserver process routes messages between RTclient processes. A key feature of SmartSockets is the ability to distribute RTserver processes and RTclient processes over a network. Different processes can be run on different computers, taking advantage of all the computing power a network has to offer. RTservers and RTclients can be dynamically started and stopped while the system is running.
