CMU CS 15-675 Architectures for Software Systems Spring 1997

Implementation of Event Systems

Garlan & Shaw Questions on Readings for Lecture 13

Due: Monday, February 24, 1997

The papers:

[Rei90]: Connecting Tools Using Message Passing in the Field Environment.

[SG96]: Section 7.3.

Hints:

Both readings are concerned with techniques for implementing Event Systems, although Reiss' refers to his system as a message-passing one. Pay attention to the way that each implementation leverages its operating domain: Unix, in the one case, and specific programming languages, in the other.

Questions:

  1. Pick four dimensions along which Field and one of the language-based implementations differ, and explain the differences?
