Abstract
Current publish/subscribe middleware infrastructures fall short of mechanisms that allow their customization and configuration to comply with the requirements of different application domains. This shortcoming is a consequence of their original design which does not account for mechanisms or approaches that allow the evolution of this kind of services. This survey introduces the concept of versatility in publish/subscribe infrastructures and examines the current approaches to versatility in publish-subscribe middleware as well as approaches to versatility that have been applied in other kinds of middleware and may possibly succeed in the context of publish/subscribe infrastructures. In this context, versatility is defined as a set of properties (such as variability, reuse, dynamism and usability) that allows the customization, extension and compression of middleware. This paper surveys existing and advanced software engineering approaches to address those requirements. A comparative framework on software versatility, as a set of properties, is presented to help researches and practitioners to evaluate and compare the strengths and limitations of such approaches that have been or might be applied to this
