Abstract :
The asynchronous message service (AMS) is a subscription based message passing framework for use in flight software applications. It is designed to allow multiple flight software applications to communicate without the need for a central message routing server. This paper describes an AMS client implementation written in a functional programming language. Functional programming languages are expressive and powerful and this paper illustrates how some of the powerful features can be leveraged to build domain relevant software.
