ABSTRACT:
The present invention is a system and method by which changes in states of devices within a computer system are identified and understood by relevant parts of the system. The system responds to state changes in a well-defined and predictable way without requiring a reboot cycle of operation. The state changes can be classified as a "hard event" or a soft event." Each event may further classified as, among others, a "device removed" event or a "device added" event.
