MalevaST
Description
MalevaST is the Squeak/Smalltalk implementation of the Maleva component model. Maleva is a hierarchichal component model introduced by Jean-Pierre Briot, Thomas Meurisse et al. Maleva components interact either by exchanging data asynchronously. Concurrency is made explicit since Maleva components has control interfaces which are connected to set up the path for processes flow.

Applications using MalevaST
Simulation of a Roomba vacuum cleaner robot
This simulation is based on an early (and incomplete) version of MalevaST.
Description
In this simulation, the Roomba robot is implemented as a reactive agent based on Rodney Brooks achitecture. This architecture is described in Brooks paper : "A Robust Layered Control System For A Mobile Robot" - IEEE Journal of Robotics and Automation, 1986
