The paradigm of event-based systems (EBS) enables software to react to changes in the environment and has become widely adopted in many domains. To enhance the development process of EBS, an intuitive software abstraction is necessary to describe real world event-driven tasks in a generic way. We thus introduce the concept of event applets, in short Eventlets, to provide developers and architects alike with a generic and reusable container model for designing and implementing event-driven tasks. Eventlets have a managed lifecycle and are activated automatically upon arrival of appropriate events.

The Evenlet Poster gives an overviews of the Eventlet concept and our Eventlet middleware.
