 [No title]   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
When you register an event handler, you are telling (a) the agent that when (b) an event of a particular type occurs, the agent should send information about that event to (c) a particular event-handler routine.
The event loop is a process in which the agent continually watches for events.
The Agent, with its event loop, is now the party that is really in control, and it uses the main module merely as a container for the "helper" event-handler routines that it calls.

 Event-driven programming - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Inputs can be polled in the event loop, or interrupt handlers can be registered to react to hardware events; many systems use a mixture of both techniques.
Event-driven programs typically consist of a number of small programs called event handlers, which are to be called in response to external events, and a dispatcher, which calls the event handlers, often using an event queue to hold unprocessed events.
A command driven system can be viewed as a special case of the event driven model in which the system, inactive, awaits one very complex event--the entry of a command by the user.

 Event Driven   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
As the name implies, hedge funds employing an event driven strategy take positions based upon their expectations about some event that has or is expected to occur.
However, typically both risk and returns tend to be higher then the norm as the success of an event driven funds rests upon the manager(s) ability to read an event situation accurately or employ a model which is capable of doing such a task.
Event driven funds can sustain correlations with the major market indices as predefined "events" can become more scarce during times of range-bound markets and volatile environments can lead to large losses or equally large gains.

 Event-driven simulation   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
If events aren't guaranteed to occur at regular intervals, and we don't have a good bound on the time step (it shouldn't be so small as to make the simulation run too long, nor so large as to make the number of events unmanageable), then it's more appropriate to use an event-driven simulation.
We don't generate all the events in the list at the beginning (this would be analogous to knowing the entire sequence of states of the simulation at the outset).
Certain events may be handled by scheduling later events, which are inserted at the appropriate place in the event list.

 Event Driven Simulation Tutorial
Event driven simulations lend themselves so well to network protocol simulations because to quantify time - so that the simulation can exhaustively look at every distinct moment of time - results in such a large amount of processing overhead that the simulation takes far too long.
For example, if there is a possibility that system loading is such that there could be 1000 events in a second, then "time" must be quantified into pieces each 0.001 seconds long, and each of these 1000 units of time must be examined during the simulation to see if an event has occurred.
If only 50 of these events actually occur, it is still necessary to examine all 1000 "units of time" in the exhaustive simulation, whereas in the event driven simulation, you only examine the 50 changes of state to the system resulting from events occurring to/in that system.

 11.3 Application - Event-Driven Simulation   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
This queue is stored in order, based on the time the event should occur, so the smallest element will always be the next event to be modeled.
Events can be represented as subclasses of a base class, which we will call event.
The first is used to insert a new event into the queue, while the second runs the simulation.

 Event-Driven Applications
Rather, as events occur, objects will issue messages to other objects to perform their responsibilities and the desired operations will be accomplished.
For this play, it is assumed that there is an event queue which will hold events as they are generated by the mouse and keyboard.
In the examples, ABC processed events one at a time, but it was built to allow for the execution of simultaneous tasks (or seemingly so).

 Event-Driven Programming in LabVIEW - Tutorial - Developer Zone - National Instruments   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
When a system event occurs, the operating system is responsible for identifying and responding to the event.
In contrast to polling, the Event structure does not lose user events because the structure uses an event queue to store user events and handle the user events in the order in which they occur.
In addition, you can use the Event structure to handle events such as exiting the application or resizing a window, which are unavailable when you use polling.

 Moving to the Event-Driven Economy   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
The event must be logged so that it won't be forgotten if there is a failure as it is being processed.
What is of note here is that all relevant systems are notified of the event and are supplied with all appropriate information, in real time, so that they can, in turn, instantly react to the event (see Figure 1).
Of equal relevance is that all systems participating in the event will be notified instantly if any change occur along the supply chain—that is, if demand changes (for example, car sales are down) or if there is a parts shortage.

For example, a leaf hitting the bus is an event, but is not a significant event if we wish to model the cost effectiveness of the bus route.
One of the properties of the event object is the srcElement property, which contains the element that initiated the event.
The event occurs when either of the form elements is given the focus, and the situation is reinforced by the question being repeated in the status bar.

 Quantum Leaps Resources -- Glossary
Boolean condition of extended state variables (and perhaps event parameters) that affect the behavior of a state machine by enabling or disabling certain operations (e.g., change of state).
UML statecharts don’t support event conjunction, and the semantics is given in respect to a single event dispatch, to better match the type context as opposed to a general system context.
However, if state “s11” does not prescribe how to handle the event, the event is not quietly discarded (as in a classical finite state machine); rather, it is automatically handled in the higher level context of state “s1”.

The destination for an event may be determined by a state variable such a mouse location or by an event handler having registered itself as a recipient for the particular event.
Event handlers correspond to objects, and the processing routines to methods or members functions.
Event handlers can be specified using a combination of text and graphics.

 RFID Journal - Separating Wheat from Chaff
CEP is a method of aggregating large amounts of information in a database that uses Event Query Language (EQL) to sift through the data for meaningful information.
So the job of CEP is to take simple event-oriented data, apply sets of event processing rules to those events in real time, and, through that processing, determine which complex events companies need to act on.
As event volume and velocity grow, these EPN architectures will be critical to building RFID systems that can be expanded to handle massive amounts of data from thousands or even tens of thousands of readers.

First, the event delivery and handling mechanisms must be efficient and scalable.
Finally, any changes in a server's environment should be reported to the server asynchronously; a server should never have to resort to a status poll on the resources it manages for correct operation.
Perhaps most problematic, though, is that select() cannot be used to detect aio completion events, and the aio interface does not work with sockets.

 Event Driven Programs
The events may be generated by the operating environment, as happens with virtually all GUI programs or the program itself may go looking for events as is often the case in embedded control systems such as used in cameras etc.
First we implement the event handler function that will be called when a keypress is detected then the main program body which simply starts up the event gathering loop and calls the event handling function when a valid event is detected.
Creating an application class is quite common in OO event driven environments because there is a lot of synergy between the concepts of events being sent to a program and messages being sent to an object.

 Weblogs Forum - Why Are Event Driven APIs Difficult?
Event Driven API's also tend to be more loosely coupled.  If you consult this table you realize that it supports two properties.
In summary, Event Driven API's are more difficult to program in simply because imperative languages were not designed for them.  The use of both Generators and Grammar based approaches should make it much easier.  The main benefit of an event driven style is better scalability and a loosely coupled approach.
In event-driven programs the program must respond to whatever the current state is when an event occurs.
