  • Abstract

    Sharing information would not only raise awareness and increase knowledge, but could also save lives. Occasionally, governments need to provide critical information to citizens accurately and in a timely manner. There are different information dissemination channels such as: Television, Radio, SMS and Social Media. However, these channels have several limitations. A dissemination approach is needed that intelligently target specific citizens with critical information that concern them from trusted sources on time. In this research, we propose a dissemination model that addresses these issues and utilizes the needed features. Comparing several dissemination architectures, the proposed model is an enhanced architecture designed based on publish/subscribe. The study proposed a novel idea of information dissemination by integrating many trusted sources in a unified source that can be accessed by the stakeholders at any time. The study would be a building block for an official information dissemination system in Saudi Arabia.
