A-TOPSS - A Publish/Subscribe System Supporting Approximate Matching

Summary: A-TOPSS extends publish/subscribe beyond exact Boolean predicates to support approximate matching over attributes such as location, price, and size. It introduces efficient processing techniques for dissemination workloads with inherently inexact subscriber interests. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
