Tweeter is a well know notification system, with millions of users, and billions of messages processed daily. However, Tweeter was not designed from ground-up to handle all possible kinds of faults. In situations where reliability is a primary concern (natural disaster notification, military operations, …), Tweeter may not be an ideal solution.

The main idea of this project is to evaluate which properties a reliable notification system should have, and implement them in a prototype. The reliable notification system should be resilient against all possible attacks, and should offer guarantees on delivery/dissemination.

The project would consist of:

1. Modelling the components of the notification system.
2. Implementing the system.
3. Evaluation of the implementation.
