Abstract
The majority of today’s pub/sub brokers only focus on data content when deciding where to distribute data. In this paper, we introduce the GeoBroker pub/sub broker software that additionally considers the geo-context associated with data producers and consumers. As a result, data consumers only receive relevant messages which preserves bandwidth and compute power while data producers can use the geo-context of clients to control data distribution, e.g., for enhanced privacy or as an alternative to credential-based authentication.

I did my PhD on optimizing data distribution for IoT applications with a heavy focus on pub/sub systems that are, among others, based on MQTT. Now I am working for RIO (Bosch Group) as a Software Architect on topics concerning any part of our Home Connect Plus offering with a focus on the Cloud backend and Matter.
