Eventful: Crowdsourcing Local News Reporting

We present Eventful, a system for producing news reports of local events using remote and locative crowd workers. The system recruits and guides novice crowd workers as they perform the roles of field reporter, curator, or writer. Field reporters attend the events in person, and use Eventful's mobile web app to get a personalized mission, submit content, and receive feedback. Missions include t...

On asynchronous eventful session semantics

Event-driven programming is one of the major paradigms in concurrent and communication-based programming, where events are typically detected as the arrival of messages on asynchronous channels. Unfortunately, the flexibility and performance of traditional event-driven programming come at the cost of more complex programs: low-level APIs and the obfuscation of event-driven control flow make pro...

Type-Safe Eventful Sessions in Java

Event-driven programming is a widely accepted approach to building robust, scalable servers. However, it forces application programmers to manually maintain clientspecific state, leading to unsafe programs with obfuscated control flows. This paper introduces a Java language extension and its type system for structured event-driven programming, based on session types. Built on a simple extension...
