Dynamic formation of groups in a notification system

A system for determining membership in a group of notification recipients and issuing a notification to the group of notification recipients, comprising:

• a recipient module configured to store information regarding a set of potential recipients of notifications;
• a tagging module configured to associate the potential recipients with at least one descriptor;
• a grouping module configured to automatically update, in response to a change in the descriptors associated with the set of potential recipients of notifications, a group of recipients to receive at least one notification based on the descriptors currently associated with the set of potential recipients of notifications;
• and
• a transmission module configured to transmit the at least one notification to the group of recipients.

A method for determining membership in a group of notification recipients and issuing a notification to the group of notification recipients, comprising:

• associating a set of potential recipients of notifications with at least one descriptor;
• dynamically forming a group of recipients to receive at least one notification based on the descriptors currently associated with the set of potential recipients of notifications;
• and
• issuing the at least one notification to the group of recipients.
