Supporting the design of behaviors in Callimachus

ABSTRACT

Behaviors play an important role to relationship semantics. In this paper, we present how behavioral aspects of structures are conceived in Callimachus, a structural computing environment. Callimachus supports the definition of behavioral designs called propagation templates that assist in addressing behavioral concerns of structures within structure servers. Propagation templates provide a higher level of abstraction and signify an attempt to move from an atom-based view of behaviors to a system and pattern-based view.
