Subject: This means that an asynchronous messaging architecture can often be a natural way to model these types of interactions.

Essentially, the messaging infrastructure implements an Aggregator. Naturally, it is difficult to test explicitly for unforeseen scenarios.
This realization prompted my earlier posting on Inversion of Control.
This feature makes it very convenient for calculators to subscribe to multiple topics at once. It is very useful to have means of inspecting the composition to execute these validation rules automatically.
Well, it took a bit longer than originally expected but I now have a kit that implements about a dozen key patterns as individual executables. This drastically improved testability. Essentially, we created a publish-subscribe topic hierarchy based on Java classes. These calculators access the database to retrieve context data that is required to compute the scores. It is one possible implementation of a Splitter in a specific run-time environment. Otherwise we'll have to wait for the public beta some time next year.
Of course patterns are meant to be included in all kinds of software, including libraries and tools.
We built flexibility into the system by loosening the constraints on the system composition.
Now I just need to find someone who understands the meta-meta model to do the work. Granularity    One important design decision was how small or how big to make the calculators. If the real world writes the best stories maybe we can learn something by watching how Starbucks deals with exceptions. This implies that we need to think carefully about validating the composability as well as the actual composition of the individual processing elements. Hidden assumptions are often unavoidable but can also introduce a glut of problems. Now I just need to find someone who understands the meta-meta model to do the work.
It turned out that the message channel overhead was quite insignificant. We built flexibility into the system by loosening the constraints on the system composition.
This this loosely coupled architecture enabled us to compose new solutions from existing calculators quite easily, sorta like Lego.
i was particularly interesting to see what kind of common patterns would emerge given our basic architectural style.
Therefore, we decided to make the calculators as small and as generic as we could. Then, the drink would be added to the mix.
Integration Testing    As a result, integration testing is more critical than ever with loosely coupled, composable systems. One example of generally more loosely coupled architectures are event-driven systems.
This type of conversation is quite common in purchasing  scenarios. Not all ontologies are easily represented in a hierarchy tree as the "Topics with Wildcards" approach requires. Next Steps                        I hope this example sheds some light on the sometimes controversial topic of codifying patterns.
This means that the behavior of the pattern can be fixed as long as the expressions are variable. When a processing element receives an event message it perform its designated function and publishes one or more resulting events.
Within the context of our book we would actually consider each topic a logical Channel. Research Papers    After I finished teaching my tutorial someone came up an essentially said that the patterns are not that useful for their work because they are mostly old stuff. This can happen for two reasons.
What to do if we receive multiple messages that fulfill the same partial expression while waiting for another part of the expression? Because the domain-specific language is interpreted it is easy to allow it to be specified on the command line.
Academics often like to create languages and new language formalisms. Is it valid to have multiple subsystems that communicate amongst themselves but not between each other?
