+
+Overview
+--------
+
+This is a completely minimal implementation of a select-based reactor framework
+for event-based asynchronous IO programming. The reactor core supports
+scheduling of tasks (a la Twisted, asio, etc.). This was written after
+witnessing the inefficiency of various other reactor-based implementations - at
+least for the very particular environment that is PlanetLab. It also helped us
+remove the need for a separate thread for the scheduled executor tasks - these
+are run in-line.
+
+Aside from its simplicity, efficiency, and support for scheduled tasks, it also
+has no dependencies.
+
+Related Work
+------------
+
+- [Apache Mina]: we originally used this for [SRON], but it lacked efficiency
+  and scheduled tasks, and also requires at least [slf4j].
+
+- [SRON]: The project from which Java Reactor was born.
