Ladon - A Distributed State-Machine Framework

Explore the Ladon distributed state-machine framework in this comprehensive conference talk from C++Now 2012. Delve into the fusion of Boost.MSM, Boost.Asio, and Boost.Spirit to create a powerful solution for reactive systems. Learn how hierarchical state machines enforce discipline for highly reliable systems, and discover the benefits of breaking larger reactive systems into smaller distributed machines with well-defined interfaces. Gain insights into the design and basic usage of Ladon, as well as interesting patterns and solutions applicable to your own systems. Cover key libraries including MSM, Spirit, Asio, Fusion, Signals2, and Phoenix. Understand the implementation architecture, orthogonal regions, and the advantages of using state machines in various domains such as digital video systems, ground-based weather equipment, visibility sensors, and underground mapping.
