Abstract:
AxiCo2 is an Application Programming Interface designed to simplify the implementation of concurrency in
local environment as well as in the invocation of web services. AxiCo2 thereby reduces many inherent
difficulties undergone by developers in programming multi-threaded applications. The higher level Application
Programming Interface provided by AxiCo2 hides complexities associated with concurrency constructs and
web service invocations. As a framework for concurrency and coordination among threads, AxiCo2 provides a
means of asynchronous communication among threads using "Ports ". AxiCo2 has a thread pool within itself
eliminating inherent overheads of thread per task approach. Apart from being a high level Application
Programming Interface to hide complexities of concurrency, AxiCo2 provides means to the developer to
configure applications to respond to partial success through the variety of Receivers provided. Our main focus
in this paper is to present the underlying concepts of AxiCo2. -
