Projeto e implementação de um serviço de eventos para o desenvolvimento de aplicações baseadas em componentes.

Abstract

This dissertation specifies an object-oriented framework to support the development of applications and components that communicate through events. An Event Service that eases the creation of software products that use the Push and Pull models of distribution was created; the solution also allows easy migration from one model to the other. Two instances of the framework were created for those models, and multithreading and thread pool techniques were used to make them more efficient. The problem of natural ordering of events is approached and the framework incorporates a solution to it.
