Abstract
This paper outlines an architecture that intends to ensure Quality of
Service (QoS) to applications using the publisher-subscriber
paradigm. The key idea is to subscribe information not only by subject
and content but also according to QoS parameters. This must be done
with cooperation of all intervenients: publishers, which should tag
information they are producing with application-level QoS parameters;
subscribers, that do content-based QoS addressing; and message
brokers, which use a QoS based network infrastructure.
