Event Library: An Object-Oriented Library for Event-Driven Design

摘要

The Event Library is a simple library that provides a solution to the common problems in event-driven programming. Its careful design facilitates further extensions, in order to satisfy users' advanced needs. It has been implemented in Eiffel, taking advantage of the advanced mechanisms of this language. In this paper, we present the architecture of the library and show how it can be used for building event-driven software. The discussion is illustrated with a sample application.
