ABSTRACT:
A dynamic or latebound event mechanism provides event mechanism operation according to associational relationships among objects. In addition, objects may be responsive to event notification methods that are not initially within the original object definition, thereby allowing the event notification methods to be inherited by objects dynamically during run-time. One implementation utilizes the associations Self, Contents, and Peer for objects representing entities in a virtual world environment. Event notifications methods are promulgated among the objects corresponding to the entities in a sequence based upon the associational relationships between the entities.
