A method (200) for delivering information (for example, monitoring data)
is proposed. The information is collected (235) on a central server (110)
from remote sources (105), in order to be provided to multiple clients
(120) in response to corresponding requests. In the method of the
invention, an interest index is calculated (280) according to the number
of preceding requests of the information that have been submitted in the
past (so as to estimate the interest of the clients for the information);
moreover, a significance index is calculated (220) according to a
probability of a current value of the information that is uploaded onto
the server by the corresponding source (so as to estimate its importance
for the clients). A frequency for refreshing the information on the
server can then be determined (245) according to both the interest index
and the significance index. In this way, the refresh frequency
self-adapts to the expected behavior of the clients.
