When doing anything concurrently and/or in parallel, it is always good to have an input queue and an upper bound on the number of tasks (/threads/processes/...). Also an asynchronous flow. You need to handle other proble

My understanding is that it is more like COM, CORBA and NetBeans. I guess it is one of those things that can mean different things to different people. At its core, it's just separation of concerns, usually branded and (re-)packaged. O
