<p>A junction manager for inter-object communication eliminates the need for a separate request broker or manager and eliminates, as well, the need for each junction to propagate each state change. Instead, the state change of each object to be interconnected is reported once by the junction manager function process either located in or used by each object desiring to do so, to a shared memory space. "Processes" in each object's junction manager (where the term process represents processes, threads or objects themselves) which are thus logically connected or "joined", and which may depend on one another, then query the shared memory space to obtain information about the state of a junction with another object that is of interest to them. <IMAGE></p> |
