“…On the other hand, these areas seem to complement each other with respect to rule or subscription construction and management. Rule groups and modularity are investigated by Browne et al (1995) and are used in a number of systems. However, the rule groups are connected by explicit procedural invocation and the modularity cannot be used to create new event-based components.…”

Event-based systems are developed and used to integrate components in loosely coupled systems. Research and product development have focused so far on efficiency issues but neglected methodological support to build such systems. In this article, the modular design and implementation of an event system is presented which supports scopes and event mappings, two new and powerful structuring methods that facilitate engineering and coordination of components in event-based systems. We give a formal specification of scopes and event mappings within a trace-based formalism adapted from temporal logic. This is complemented by a comprehensive introduction to the event-based style, its benefits and requirements.

“…On the other hand, these areas seem to complement each other with respect to rule or subscription construction and management, i.e., visibility control. Rule groups and modularity are, for example, investigated by Browne et al [43] and are used in a number of systems. However, rule groups are connected by explicit procedural invocation and the modularity cannot be used to create new event-based components.…”

Many persons have contributed to this thesis and I want to thank them for their support. First of all, I have to thank my advisor Prof. Alejandro Buchmann for his demanding questions, his continuous support, and his patience. Without his support this work would not have been possible. My co-advisor Prof. Mira Mezini managed to point me to the engineering issues, which considerably strengthened the statements made in this thesis. Current and past colleagues at database and distributed systems group at TU Darmstadt provided a wonderful working environment. Especially Mariano Cilia, Felix C. Gärtner, Gero Mühl, and Andreas Zeidler endured many discussions that helped me forming my ideas, and without Gero the whole Rebeca project wouldn't have started at all. Last but not least, I have to thank my family for all their patience and support. And it is always good to get a reminder once in a while where real life takes place. Publications Parts of this thesis are based on previous publications. Excerpts of Chapter 2 on the formal specification of event-based systems are published as joint work with Gero Mühl and Felix C. Gärtner [113, 114, 115]. The discussion about content-based filters and routing in the Rebeca notifications service is based on joint work with Gero Mühl [214, 216]. The basis for Chapter 3 was published together with Mira Mezini, Gero Mühl, Felix C. Gärtner, and Alejandro P. Buchmann [110, 111, 115]. Some of the routing and security issues are published in [117]. The disussion of scalability in Chapter 5 is motivated by joint work with Gero Mühl, Felix C. Gärtner, and Alejandro P. Buchmann [217]. A number of additional publications have been published during the time this thesis was prepared [
