SugarCubes (April 1999)
A set of classes for reactive programming in Java 
WebIcobj Demo  |  Comparison with Java threads

SugarCubes is a set of Java classes for implementing software systems such as:
 
  • event based systems, especially those where events are instantly broadcast throughout the system. Communicating in this framework is like in radio transmissions, where emitters send information that is instantaneously received by all receivers.
  • parallel systems, in particular thread-less ones. Here, parallelism is a logical programming construct to implement activities which are supposed to proceed concurrently and not one after the other.
  • reactive systems, which continuously react to activations.

    •  

     

    SugarCubes is used to implement Reactive Scripts and Icobj Programming on top of the Java language.

    (April 1999)
    The SugarCubes v2 is now available.
    The following paper describes in french this new version of SugarCubes:
    Implementation de l'approche reactive en Java : les SugarCubes v2, Jean-Ferdy Susini, Actes MSR'99, Hermes, 1999.

    The reference manual for SugarCubes v2 is available (pdf file, 84K).

    (October 1998)
    Comparison of Java threads and SugarCubes. A paper is available which describes a small example of concurrent program coded with threads and with SugarCubes. Code of the example is also available.
