Description

Interface Summary

EventInterface	The EventInterface defines the interface for all events in the event project.
EventListenerInterface	The EventListenerInterface creates a callback method for publishers to inform their clients.
EventProducerInterface	The EventProducerInterface defines the registration operations of an eventproducer.

Event	The Event class forms the reference implementation for the EventInterface.
EventListenerMap<K,V>	The specifies
EventProducer	The EventProducer forms the reference implementation of the EventProducerInterface.
EventType	The EventType is a masker used for the subscription to asynchronous events.
TimedEvent	The TimedEvent is the reference implementation for a timed event.

Package nl.tudelft.simulation.event Description

Provides classes and interfaces for asynchronous communication.

The event package is designed around three interfaces:

• The EventListenerInterface defining callback mechamism for a listener.
• The EventProducerInterface defining registration capabilities.
• The EventInterface defining the events which are send by a producer and received by a listener.

In this package, two aspects are of crucial importance. Operations defined in the interfaces throw a RemoteException. This makes the interfaces suitable for distributed deployment. The second aspect is concurrency. The classes providing a reference implementation of these interfaces are designed for multi threaded deployment.

This package has been verified, validated and certified according to the VV&C procedure described at http://sk.tbm.tudelft.nl:8080/jahia/Jahia/pid/44
