“…There is, of course, a wealth of other research on reactive programming languages and systems [3,7,9,10,[30][31][32][33][34][35] that we could profitably examine. However, in this paper, we focus our attention on solutions that follow the IMPLICIT INVOCATION architectural pattern and work by augmenting the normal event handling mechanisms of the user interface technologies on which they are built.…”

Two recent studies addressed the problem of reducing transitional turbulence in applications developed in C# on .NET. The first study investigated this problem in desktop and Web GUI applications and the second in virtual and augmented reality applications using the Unity3D game engine. The studies used similar solution approaches, but both were somewhat embedded in the details of their applications and implementation platforms. This paper examines these two families of applications and seeks to extract the common aspects of their problem definitions and solution approaches and codify the problem-solution pair as a new software design pattern. To do so, the paper adopts Wellhausen and Fiesser’s writer’s path methodology and follows it systematically to discover and write the pattern, recording the reasoning at each step. To evaluate the pattern, the paper applies it to an arbitrary C#/.NET GUI application. The resulting design pattern is named Dynamically Coalescing Reactive Chains (DCRC). It enables the approach to transitional turbulence reduction to be reused across a range of related applications, languages, and user interface technologies. The detailed example of the writer’s path can assist future pattern writers in navigating through the complications and subtleties of the pattern-writing process.

“…In subsequent work, Mijač et al [4] proposes the REACTOR design pattern to include these improved features. Mijač et al [35] then incorporates these ideas into an application framework named RE-FRAME, which "provides built-in abstractions, mechanisms and tools for handling reactive dependencies" in the C#/.NET context.…”
