I've implemented a small producer / consumer pattern.

Objects can register as consumers for special events.
They then get notfied, when such an event occurs. To
be a consumer, the class has to implemente the consumer
interface.

Other objects can forward notifications to the
producer/consumer manager. The manager decides, who
has to receive a message.

The pattern allows to have anonymous producer / consumer
connections, since events are forwarded based on
subscribed event patterns.

I've never heard of somebody basing their programming style on communism (a command economy). :)

(If this is an obscure reference, read "The Commanding Heights" by Daniel Yergin and somebody else I don't remember, or enjoy the PBS series based on the book.)
