These concepts are driven around the concept of a main event loop.
This concept is specific to browsers, and not to JavaScript. It would
all depend how you embed the JavaScript engine, and if you want to
structure it around an event loop with timers, etc.

Thank you Sébastien for your reply,
I would guess how to implement the event thread but how do I interrupt
the execution of the script thread so I could force the execution of a
particular script code. That's what I don't know. Could you or someone
else please provide some details about it?
Thank you
Nedko

The way it works in a browser is there is only one thread. The
scripts are never interrupted, but are expected to return to the event
loop after a reasonably short time, possibly scheduling another
callback first.
