Annotation: Advocates the use of publish/subscribe as an interaction style for upgradeable component-based systems. Publish/subscribe induces less coupling than request-response (e.g., RPC), since components do not have to interact synchronously and do not have to know each other. Therefore, components can be replaced (more) easily; a configuration manager (CM) manages these replacements. Authors do not consider upgrades that require state transfer between components or upgrades to the CM.
