ABSTRACT:
A method for aggregating distributed information from a plurality of data sources each having an address. A plurality of user criteria are received and site specific information describing idiosyncrasies of each data source are stored. A plurality of query messages are generated based upon the received criteria and the stored idiosyncrasy information. For each query message, a communication packet is generated comprising the query message and an address for the corresponding data source. A plurality of communication ports are created with each port associated with one of the communication packets. Each communication packet is sent over its associated port to the addressed data source.
