 System and method for enabling an event driven interface to a procedural program - Patent 5664190
An interface is provided between programs or window procedures written in procedural languages and the standard message queues of a standard event driven user interface, operating system and graphic engine.
The procedural program interface may include one procedural program message queue corresponding to each of the message queues and a controller for monitoring receipt of messages from the message queues by the procedural program message queues, monitoring for calls from the procedural programs, and sending the appropriate message to the calling procedural program.
Upon occurrence of an event that requires an action or function to be performed by application (window procedure) 46A, the graphics engine 42 causes a message M to be placed in its corresponding application queue 44A.

 Event-Driven Programming
In command-line interfaces the flow of control is easy to follow: prompt the user, read input, check to see if it is valid, then if it is, process the input, otherwise go back to the beginning of the cycle.
In these notes we use the Java 1.1 event model with AWT components, emphasizing that the crucial issue is the understanding of the event-driven paradigm, and not the particular event model or component base.
Event handlers are implemented in the form of methods of listener objects.

 EVENT HANDLING MODEL
The event listener receives an event object when it is notified of the event, then uses the object to respond to the event.
The event source also is required to maintain a list of its registered listeners and be able to notify its listeners when an event occurs.
An event handler is a method that is called in response to a particular type of event.

 The Growing Role of Events in Enterprise Applications
However, events have been underutilized in business applications, in part because many developers are unfamiliar with them (see "Event-Driven Applications: Definition and Taxonomy").
Events in several forms, from simple events to complex events, will become much more widely used in business applications during 2004 through 2008, because five forces are driving their adoption:
In this Spotlight, we focus on the concept of events because we believe that it is the key underlying factor that will enable certain revolutionary improvements in business processes and application systems during the next five years.

 Introduction to Java Interface Event-Handling
To specify that you wish to have an event acted upon, you call the addActionListener method of an object—the button in the example program—passing as a parameter the class that is will respond to its events.
Attaching multiple events to an event was not possible in Java 1.0—and in fact, is not possible in many other event-based languages either.
Regardless of whether your programs and user-interface controls respond to user-generated events only, or events generated from other sources such as timers or systems messages, the principles for all event-handling are identical to those discussed in this article.

 Event-driven Tasks and Graphical User Interfaces   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
In GIPSY a quite general way of event handling has been implemented, allowing the task to react to a limited set of different events, like the change of a keyword, the rejection of a keyword due to an error, the availablity of data on a file descriptor, etc.
Using this event handling, a collection of routines has been built, which allows the programmer to construct a graphical user interface for a task.
These are the events associated with user input keywords and one other event which is generated when a task is resumed after it was pausing.

However, with the event-driven interface, the user has to “pull” the incoming data, i.e.
after the event is fired, the user is responsible for going to the serial port and reading the data.
when an event is fired, it includes a copy of the packet.

 Event Driven
Examples of the types of "events" that provided the elaboration of formal products was the delivery of the courseware to classes, the writing of professional papers, the development of grants, and particularly presentations at formal professional meetings.
The most common type of event that drove the creation and expansion of courseware was its delivery in the contexts of courses.
After the first time the HyperCard stacks were used, it was obvious that there were both interface problems with the stacks themselves, and a number of other technical problems to overcome regarding their access, before future presentations to students could be made.

 What is graphical user interface? - A Word Definition From the Webopedia Computer Dictionary
The first graphical user interface was designed by Xerox Corporation's Palo Alto Research Center in the 1970s, but it was not until the 1980s and the emergence of the Apple Macintosh that graphical user interfaces became popular.
One reason for their slow acceptance was the fact that they require considerable CPU power and a high-quality monitor, which until recently were prohibitively expensive.
In addition to their visual components, graphical user interfaces also make it easier to move data from one application to another.

 IMS Enterprise Best Practice and Implementation Guide
This very basic type of interface allows a receiving system to pick up an interface at any time and synchronize its data with the source system-- regardless of how many interfaces had been passed in the interim.
In a two-way interface, data object maintenance occurs in both systems, and the data objects are passed in both directions.
Because an event driven interface is not tolerant of missed transactions, the "snapshot" interface can be used at regular intervals to "re-synchronize" the data in the target system with that in the source system.

At its heart it is a hierarchical database with event driven interface.
Simply put, once the data store interface is exposed to a script engine, the script gains access to all elements of WinPTE exposed in the data store without having to expose each single element or write another line of code.
There is a primitive command line interface to the data store, which I will document at a later date or sooner if someone is interested.

 Object Oriented and Event Driven Programming
In a WIMP (Windowed Interface with Mouse Pointer) system, the user can, with a flick of the wrist, change the "system state" in any of these ways in a fashion that enforces allowing "random access" to almost any part of the system at all times.
The idea of OOP is to encapsulate data and processing methods together, which is useful here in that the system can be informed that an event has occurred, and then manage this by asking a method to act on the relevant piece of data.
The early applications of object oriented programming included event-driven systems such as simulations and graphical user interfaces; those represent, to this day, the areas in which OOP techniques are most effective.

Take some time to experiment with event handlers until you become intuitively familiar with the sequence of events and what it takes to fire them.
With Events and OOP you’ll have much less code to deal with, but your planning will be infinitely more complex.
The MDI interface is particularly appropriate when your user needs to work on multiple documements simultaneously, particularly for cut-and-paste operations between two or more forms or spreadsheets.

An event is published when an annotated field is updated, and after returning from an annotated method.
These Event interfaces hold information such as the new field value for field events, and the arguments and return value for method events.
Note that whilst I've implemented a simple synchronous event dispatch it would be easy to change the implementation of publish to perform parallel asynchronous notifications using util.concurrent (or indeed to use any other mechanism to connect publishers and subscribers).

The detailed specifications for interface protocols required for actual enterprise applications are defined and documented as part of the Requirements Definition (see Services).
The event-driven interface is accomplished with direct communication between the Gateway program in Access 1000 and a gateway program in the business system application.
This architecture permits the event-driven interface to be supported via Telnet or RS-232 interface using either direct connection or telephone lines.

 Event-Driven SSL
The new API would be event-driven, that is, the application and the API would pass each other events; each event would be either an SSL Record Layer record (aka protocol data unit), a block of cleartext, or a crypto engine processing request.
The events exchanged between the app and the API can be any one of three basic types.
Generally, whichever side originates an event receives the same event later when the operation it implies is complete, and can tell by examining the 'kind' field whether it is a new event or a reply.

These listeners are notified (that is, the listener’s methods are called) when the user-interface object generates an event.
Of course, if the interface is not a button or menu, ActionListener may not be the appropriate interface—there are eleven listener interfaces.
The AWT listener interfaces with more than one method, also have a companion adapter class, implementing all the methods to do nothing.

Since the overhead of task management, context switching and allocation of stack space for the tasks might be too high in our target architecture, the BSD socket interface is not suitable for our purposes.
Instead, we have chosen an event driven interface where the application is invoked in response to certain events.
Examples of such events are data arriving on a connection, an incoming connection request, or a poll request from the stack.

An event-driven interface is probably easier to agree upon.
It is needlessly inconvenient to have to learn different interfaces for a given concept.
In fact, it is not clear to me why it is good to have [std_environment] and [test_environment] in the interface as, as far as I can tell, they will just be used to implement the associated connectors (i.e.

 XML ZONE TIP: Asynchronous SAX: -- Simple API for XML as a Long-Running Event Processor --
A stream can be a lot of things, in principle, but most of the time in Internet programming, we think of BSD sockets--an interface implemented on all modern operating systems.
There is no reason, however, that the techniques in this tip could not also be used for a serial-port instrument connection, to monitor GUI events, or for similar long running and intermittent data streams.
The basic idea this tip promotes is that XML is often an excellent choice for a wire protocol, and SAX is the most natural technique for coding client applications that utilize this protocol.
