The purpose of this work is to explore and extend the flexibility provided by the staged event-driven concurrency model to integrate both cooperative event loops and preemptive threads in a single high level abstraction. The contributions of this work are focused on the extension of the staged model that decouples the specification of concurrent applications of the decisions related to the execution environment, allowing them to be fl exibly mapped to different configurations according to the task scheduling needs and processing granularity in specific parts of the application. In order to provide an adequate definition of the concept of hybrid concurrency models, we propose a classification system that is based on the combination of basic features of concurrent systems and the possibility of parallel execution on multiple processors. Based on this classification, we analyze the benefits and drawbacks associated with each concurrency model, justifying the adoption of models that combine threads and events in the same programming environment and the extension of the staged model. Finally, we present the implementation of the proposed model in the Lua programming language and its use in execution scenarios that confirm the benefits of the extension of the staged model in the specification of concurrent applications.
