is an event-based concurrent, objectoriented language speci cally designed for prototyping system architectures. Two principle design goals are 1 to provide constructs for de ning executable prototypes of architectures, and 2 to adopt an execution model in which t h e concurrency, synchronization, data ow, and timing properties of a prototype are explicitly represented. This paper describes the partially ordered event set poset execution model and outlines with examples some of the event-based features for de ning communication architectures and relationships between architectures. Various features of Rapide are illustrated by excerpts from a prototype of the X Open distributed transaction processing reference architecture. Keywords| Rapide, architecture de nition languages, partially ordered event sets, architecture, prototyping, concurrency, simulation, formal constraints, constraint-based speci cation, event patterns, causality.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
