     Abstract:

     An event service is a general-purpose facility that provides for the
observation and notification of events.
     Although local-area event services have been available for many years,
similar services usable in wide-area
     networks, such as the Internet, are only recently being investigated.
In this talk we frame the problem of
     supporting a wide-area event service and then describe Siena, a
research project aimed at developing
     architectures and algorithms for such a service.=20
