It uses multiple inheritance, however base classes are pure virtual effectively to provide interfaces. The code sample is missing the complicated ExecScheduler which is where the scheduling of modules is performed. Writing the ExecScheduler is reasonably complex - it needs to work with threads and provide timing. I've got a Java version of this which is at the end for illustration. </div> <ul class="links inline"> <li><a href="https://chateau-logic.com/content/c-basic-framework-design-simulation-system" rel="tag" title="C++ Basic Framework Design for a Simulation System" hreflang="und">Read more about C++ Basic Framework Design for a Simulation System</a></li> </ul> Tue, 15 Feb 2011 10:34:30 +0000 admin 63 at https://chateau-logic.com Web Application Architecture https://chateau-logic.com/content/web-application-architecture Web Application Architecture admin <time datetime="2010-11-30T12:37:36+01:00" title="Tuesday, November 30, 2010 - 12:37">30 November, 2010 - 12:37</time> <div class="text-content clearfix field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field__item">Frequently I see the same question in many forms; "How do I design a web application architecture". The simple answer is that all application architectures are different, depending on the actual needs. Instinctively most programmers know what's required, or at least we think that we do. bq. The true skill is to realise that we are often wrong and that any architecture design needs to be validated. h2. Pragmatic approach to application architecture Pragmatism is one of those often misapplied terms that is often used interchangeable with "in my experience".</div> <ul class="links inline"> <li><a href="https://chateau-logic.com/content/web-application-architecture" rel="tag" title="Web Application Architecture" hreflang="und">Read more about Web Application Architecture</a></li> </ul> Tue, 30 Nov 2010 11:37:36 +0000 admin 54 at https://chateau-logic.com Removal Of Control in object oriented systems https://chateau-logic.com/content/removal-control-object-oriented-systems Removal Of Control in object oriented systems admin <time datetime="2010-10-12T21:48:25+02:00" title="Tuesday, October 12, 2010 - 21:48">12 October, 2010 - 21:48</time> <div class="text-content clearfix field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field__item">Removal Of Control is a mechanism that will improve the usability, reliability and readability of code.
