Style #29
|
|
==============================
|
|
|
|
Similar to the letterbox style, but where the 'things' have
|
|
independent threads of execution.
|
|
|
|
Constraints:
|
|
|
|
- The larger problem is decomposed into 'things' that make sense for
|
|
the problem domain
|
|
|
|
- Each 'thing' has a queue meant for other \textit{things} to place
|
|
messages in it
|
|
|
|
- Each 'thing' is a capsule of data that exposes only its
|
|
ability to receive messages via the queue
|
|
|
|
- Each 'thing' has its own thread of execution independent of the
|
|
others.
|

Possible names:
