REJO/ROS

REJO and ROS are two experimental tools built with the Reactive Approach [1, 2]. REJO is an extension of Java that generates objects which can be considered like Reactive Objects because they have their data and their reactive instructions. These objects might be considered too like Mobile Agents because they can migrate in a platform, named ROS, that provides the functionalities that they need.

REJO and ROS are built over Junior [4],  a set of Java class that gives the facility to make a reactive programming. The REJO's programming model, which is close to that of Junior, provides reactive instructions that are executed in a reactive machine. The set of reactive instructions implements the instantaneous broadcast events as well as a logic parallelism operator which does not use threads. One of the particularities of Junior reactive instructions is that they have a formal semantic defined by rewriting rules.

The initial design of REJO and ROS began in the intership of R. ACOSTA[15] at ESSI and nowadays the system continue in develop. The first version used SugarCubes [9], a similar version to Junior without formal semantic. The current version of REJO only produces Junior code. This version meets the Jr interface which allows programmers to use any Junior implementation: Rewrite, Replace, Storm et Simple.
