A software bus is - a system that allows software applications to exchange information - with the illusion of broadcasting that information, selection being - performed by the receiving applications. Using a software bus is very - similar to dealing with events in a graphical toolkit: on one side, - messages are emitted without caring about who will handle them, and on - the other side, one decide to handle the messages that have a certain - type or follow a certain pattern. Software buses are mainly aimed at - facilitating the rapid development of new agents, and at managing a - dynamic collection of agents on the bus: agents show up, emit messages - and receive some, then leave the bus without blocking the others. - - <p>Ivy is implemented as a collection of libaries for several languages and platforms. If you want to read more about the principles Ivy before reading this guide of the java library, please refer to <em>The Ivy sofware bus: a white paper</em>. If you want more details about the internals of Ivy, have a look at <em>The Ivy architecture and protocol</em>. And finally, if you are more interested in other languages, refer to other guides such as <em>The Ivy C library guide</em> or <em>The Ivy Perl library guide</em>. All those documents should be available from the Ivy Web site at <a href="http://www.tls.cena.fr/products/ivy/">http://www.tls.cena.fr/products/ivy/</a>. - - <p><hr><table width=100% border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr> - <td width=33% align=left valign=top><a href="index.html">Prev</a></td> - <td width=34% align=center valign=top><a href="index.html">Home</a></td> - <td width=33% align=right valign=top><a href="javalib.html">Next</a></td> - </tr><tr> - <td width=33% align=left valign=top>The Ivy java library guide</td> - <td width=34% align=center valign=top> </td> - <td width=33% align=right valign=top>The Ivy java library</a></td> - </tr></table> -</body> -</html> |
