Saburo, a tool for I/O and concurrency management in servers

This paper presents a Java framework based on separation of concerns and code generation concepts that facilitates development of concurrency and I/O in servers. In this approach, the application is modeled by a graph whose vertices correspond to units of treatment connected by channels. It allows to build all kind of servers: multithreaded, Single-Process Event-Driven, Staged Event Driven Architecture, etc. without modification of the functional part. This architecture also permits to extend very easily an application, adding vertices and edges to the graph. The aim of our development tool is to improve programmer productivity and portability, decreasing development time, and reducing bugs or deadlock problems.
