Franck Barbier (FranckBarbier.com) wrote his Computer Science (CS) thesis about the executability of object-oriented finite state machines at the University of Chamb¿ery (France) in 1991. He was an associate professor at the University of Nantes (France) from 1991-1999 and has been a full professor at the University of Pau (France) since 2000. Professor Barbier was the head of the CS research department of the University of Pau from 2000-2004 and deputy head of the Information and Communication Technologies department of the French Research Agency (ANR, "The French NSF") from 2009-2012.

Is Internet software so different from "ordinary" software? This book practically answers this question through the presentation of a software design method based on the State Chart XML W3C standard along with Java. Web enterprise, Internet-of-Things, and Android applications, in particular, are seamlessly specified and implemented from "executable models."Internet software puts forward the idea of event-driven or reactive programming, as pointed out in Bonér et al.'s "Reactive Manifesto" (reactivemanifesto.org). It tells us that reactiveness is a must. However, beyond concepts, software engineers require effective means with which to put reactive programming into practice. This book's purpose is to outline and explain such means.The lack of professional examples in the literature that illustrate how reactive software should be shaped can be quite frustrating. Therefore, this book helps to fill in that gap by providing in-depth professional case studies that contain comprehensive details and meaningful alternatives. Furthermore, these case studies can be downloaded for further investigation.Internet software requires higher adaptation, at run time in particular. After reading Reactive Internet Programming, the reader therefore will be ready to enter the forthcoming Internet era.
