ALOHA Application Structure

ALOHA uses a very simple structure. A single messaging backplane called SmartCOM provides communication between all the Agents that make up the program. Each Agent is able to talk to all of the other Agents.

ALOHA Example Code

Each Agent is a mini app. The code uses the familiar Producer/Consumer format, but with a few simple additions, it becomes a module that plugs into a larger application. This example is code for a simple Agent.
