Event loops are a main control architecture to implement actors. In this paper we first analyse the impact that this choice has on the design of actor-based concurrent programs. Then, we discuss control loops as the main architecture adopted to implement agents, and we frame them as an extension of event loops effective to improve the programming of autonomous components that need to integrate both reactive and proactive behaviors, in a modular way.

Abstract
Event loops are a main control architecture to implement actors. In this paper we first analyse the impact that this choice has on the design of actor-based concurrent programs. Then, we discuss control loops as the main architecture adopted to implement agents, and we frame them as an extension of event loops effective to improve the programming of autonomous components that need to integrate both reactive and proactive behaviors, in a modular way.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
