Abstract

The task of implementing meaningful reactive behavior in mobile applications is not trivial. To abstract over platform-specific details while writing expressive and legible code, we’ve developed EveWorks, a framework for context awareness that interfaces with the rest of the application code through statements written in a simple, interpreted language. In this work, we explain the conceptualization that stands at the core of our framework’s language, inspired by one of the most ubiquitous representations of temporality, the timeline.
