In computer programming, event-driven programming is a programming paradigm in which the flow of the program is determined by external events. UI events from mice , keyboards , touchpads and touchscreens , and external sensor inputs are common cases.
In computing, an event is a detectable occurrence or change in the system's state, such as user input, hardware interrupts, system notifications, or changes in data or conditions, that the system is designed to monitor. Events trigger responses or actions and are fundamental to event-driven systems.
In Windows, a message is equated to an event created and imposed upon the operating system. An event can be user interaction, network traffic, system processing, timer activity, inter-process communication, among others. For non-interactive, I/O only events, Windows has I/O completion ports. I/O completion port loops run separately from the ...
A hardware interrupt is a condition related to the state of the hardware that may be signaled by an external hardware device, e.g., an interrupt request (IRQ) line on a PC, or detected by devices embedded in processor logic (e.g., the CPU timer in IBM System/370), to communicate that the device needs attention from the operating system (OS) [7] or, if there is no OS, from the bare metal ...
The Event Driven Executive (EDX) is a computer operating system originally developed by IBM [1] [2] for the control of research laboratory devices and experiments. It included an application programming language known as EDL and HCF, a Host Communication Facility.
Event-driven finite-state machine, finite-state machine where the transition from one state to another is triggered by an event or a message; Event-driven programming, a programming paradigm in which the flow of the program is determined by events, and is often characterised by a main loop, event handlers, and asynchronous programming
A job scheduler is a computer application for controlling unattended background program execution of jobs. [1] This is commonly called batch scheduling, as execution of non-interactive jobs is often called batch processing, though traditional job and batch are distinguished and contrasted; see that page for details.
QF (QP Active Object Framework) is a highly portable, event-driven, real-time application framework for concurrent execution of Active Objects specifically designed for real-time embedded systems. QV (Cooperative Kernel) is a tiny cooperative kernel designed for executing active objects in a run-to-completion (RTC) fashion.
