The Reowolf 1.0 project files are released on Zenodo. The project documentation (technical report) is available at CWI’s Institutional Repository.

The repository serves as the documentation and specification of the Reowolf project, aiming to provide connectors as a generalization of BSD-sockets for multi-party communication over the Internet. A copy of the source code repository of version v1.0.0, and an overview presentation and its slides, are included. The repository comprises the final deliverables of the Reowolf 1.0 project.

Main contributor of the release is Christopher Esterhuyse, core developer of Reowolf 1.0. On Tuesday, October 27, 2020 he gave a talk in the Amsterdam Coordination Group (ACG).

Title: Overview of the Reowolf Project
Abstract:
The Reowolf project introduces connectors as a replacement for BSD-style sockets for multi-party network programming. Connectors encourage applications to make explicit their requirements on the behavior of the session, by facilitating configuration using protocol code, expressed in a domain-specific protocol language (based on Reo). These protocols are retained, and shared over the network, such that the underlying runtime and middleware can cooperate on realizing the session as safely, and efficiently as possible. The presentation summarizes the project’s developments, and lays out promising directions for the sequel.
