ABSTRACT:
A system and method separate the order in which event handlers register from the order in which the event handlers are notified of events. This allows any convenient registration order to be used together with a notification order that corresponds to a network architecture, a memory hierarchy, or another familiar scale. The notification order is determined by the event producers, and therefore may be reversed without re-registering the event handlers. Events may be broadcast, may carry data between event handlers, and may be consumed to prevent further notifications.
