Hello Ronald,
Please add the Channel library i am working on as "Libraries under
development". Its info are attached below.

Thanks

Description:
Channel is a C++ template library to provide name spaces for distributed
message passing and event dispatching. Message senders and receivers bind to
names in name space; binding and matching rules decide which senders will
bind to which receivers (the binding-set); then message passing could happen
among bound senders and receivers.

The type of name space is a template parameter of Channel. Various name
spaces (linear/hierarchical/associative) can be used for different
applications. For example, integer ids can be used to send messages in
linear name space, string path name ids (such as "/sports/basketball") can
be used to send messages in hierarchical name space and regex patterns or
Linda tuple-space style tuples can be used to send messages in associative
name space.

Dispatcher is another configurable template parameter of Channel; which
dispatch messages/events from senders to bounded receivers. The design of
dispatchers can vary in several dimensions:
how msgs move: push or pull;
how callbacks executed: synchronous or asynchronous.
Sample dispatchers includes : synchronous broadcast dispatcher, asynchronous
dispatchers with choice_arbiter and join_arbiters.

Name space and dispatchers are orthogonal; they can mix and match together
freely. Name spaces and name-binding create binding-sets for sender and
receiver, and dispatchers are algorithms defined over the binding-set.

Distributed channels can be connected to allow transparent distributed
message passing. Filters and translators are used to control name space
changes.
