	Design Pattern Synopses
		The Filter pattern is a special case of the Decorator pattern, where a data source or data sink object is wrapped to add logic to the handling of a data stream.
		The Composite pattern also allows the objects in the tree to be manipulated in a consistent manner, by requiring all of the objects in the tree to have a common superclass or interface.
		The Flyweight pattern is often combined with the Composite pattern to represent the leaf nodes of a hierarchical structure with shared objects.

	Mediator pattern - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The mediator pattern is a software design pattern that provides a unified interface to a set of interfaces in a subsystem.
		The Mediator pattern addresses this problem by promoting looser coupling between these classes by being the only class that has detailed knowledge of the methods of other classes.
		Classes send messages to the mediator when needed and the Mediator passes them on to any other classes that need to be informed.

	ModelMaker Design Patterns - Delphi / C# design pattern implementation: Wrapper, Visitor, Observer, Adapter, Singleton, ...
		Visitor pattern, represents an operation to be performed on the elements of an object structure by a class.
		These design patterns as used in ModelMaker are not about designs such as linked lists and hash tables that can be encoded in classes and reused as is. Nor are they complex, domain specific designs for an entire application or subsystem.
		Because the pattern is alive, it can reflect changes in the model to the pattern related code or even automatically add or delete members if needed.

	Mediator
		The mediator object: encapsulates all interconnections, acts as the hub of communication, is responsible for controlling and coordinating the interactions of its clients, and promotes loose coupling by keeping objects from referring to each other explicitly.
		Mediator is similar to Facade in that it abstracts functionality of existing classes.
		Mediator abstracts/centralizes arbitrary communication between colleague objects, it routinely "adds value", and it is known/referenced by the colleague objects (i.e.

	Mediator Design Pattern
		Basically what this means is in a behavioral design pattern, it characterizes the ways in which classes or objects interact with each other and thereby distribute their responsibility (Gamma, 1995).
		The mediator is a class whose objects at run-time is responsible for controlling and coordinating the interactions of a group of other objects (Raj, 2002).
		And while the mediator design pattern is not appropriate for all situations, it can prove to be a very good strategy in design in high dependency and interconnected system of classes and objects.

		Prototype is an object creational pattern that "specifies the kind of objects to create using a prototypical instance, and creates new objects by copying this prototype." Gamma, et al.
		Mediator pattern is an object behavioral pattern that "defines an object that encapsulates how a set of objects interact".
		I also used the mediator pattern to implement the observer pattern when the interactions between the subjects and observers were very complicated.

	The Mediator Design Pattern by Gopalan Suresh Raj
		This pattern helps to model a class whose object at run-time is responsible for controlling and coordinating the interactions of a group of other objects.
		Mediator promotes loose coupling by keeping objects from referring to each other explicitly, and allowing the designer to vary their interaction independently.
		The Mediator can be implemented as an Observer (using the Observer pattern) and the Colleagues as Subjects, which send notification to the mediator whenever a state change occurs.

		An example of a design pattern based on roles is the tree structure, define two roles Child and Parent, their relationships and the optional specializations Leaf and Root.
		Figure 1: Bureaucracy pattern role diagram The Bureaucracy pattern lets developers build self contained hierarchical structures that can interact with clients on every level but need no external control and are capable of maintaining their inner consistency themselves.
		The structure of the pattern is governed by the Composite pattern, the distribution of responsibilities in the hierarchy is done according to the Mediator pattern, and the communication between Subordinates and Managers is structured according to the Chain of Responsibility and Observer pattern.

		The mediator then routes the requests between the different colleagues.
		The Mediator interface does not need to be defined when colleagues work with only one Mediator [2].
		In contast, Mediator enables cooperative behavior that colleague objects don't or can't provide, and the protocol is multidirectional.

	VFP Design Patterns: Mediators
		Mediator promotes loose coupling by keeping objects from referencing to each other explicitly, and lets you vary their interaction independently.
		Look for Mediator patterns where objects are decoupled and in situations when inter-object behavior variation is present or expected.
		Mediators well serve situations where complex protocols must be managed, and when centralized access points are desirable.

		The pattern we're going to use as a solution to our dialog box problem is called the Mediator pattern.
		The benefits of this pattern are what we're looking for; it centralizes the interaction of objects and reduces the coupling between them.
		The Mediator interface has a method called ColleagueChanged(), which is what all Colleagues call to inform the Mediator that a change has occurred.

	Patterns of Enterprise Business Solutions, Chapter 1, Introduction
		As a design pattern, a single facade will generally be implemented in front of, say, a database domain model, to allow the client to access some special aspect of the model without having to understand the details of the model.
		To be sure, a design pattern is much like a leaf or two on a twig, on a limb, on a branch, on a trunk of a tree in a forest, when viewed from the perspective of an entire system or even an enterprise of systems.
		The pattern must be somewhat abstract at the description level because the pattern cannot be tied to a given enterprise platform.

	Using C++ Multiple Dispatch to Implement the Mediator Pattern for Dialogs (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Using a mediator pattern for a complex windows dialog box situation, made simpler and more extendable with a multiple dispatch technique so that the dialog and its sub elements implement Coplien's envelope-letter idiom in multiple dimensions; a very simple example in MFC, and the pros and cons are considered.
		It would be tempting to hack them in independently of a mediator pattern, since using the mediator pattern often requires some housekeeping classes, and certainly requires reading and understanding the logic in the mediator.
		So the mediator pattern moves the complexity into one place, and completely simplifies it in orthogonal cases, and multimethod mediators further simplify the complexity, by building it into the type system.

	Software Pattern Synopses
		GRASP Patterns provide guidance for assigning responsibilities to classes and, to a limited extent, determining the classes that will be in a design.
		The Mediator pattern provides an example of a class created through pure fabrication that receives direct method calls from classes unrelated to it with a benefit that outweighs the disadvantages of the direct calls.
		The Single Threaded Execution pattern is used to coordinate access by multiple threads to the hash table used by the Hashed Adapter Objects pattern.

		The Design Pattern’s book specifies that a client passed an object A decorated with an object B may access members of object B given that the client knows that there is a B decoration attached to A. This scenario therefore does not violate the Decorator pattern.
		Given that a mediator is responsible for routing messages between units and the very purpose of the mediator is to allow for changes and additions to this logic, it seems plausible, even likely, that this code could become overly complex.
		A Prototype pattern should be used in lieu of a Factory or other creational pattern when the objects being created differ only in their initial state and there are a limited number of combinations of state.

	The Task Pattern: A Design Pattern for Processing and Monitoring Long-Running Tasks by Hugo Troche - Software ...
		As mentioned in the previous section, it is better to use the Task Pattern in combination with the Command, Command Holder, and Mediator patterns [Gamma, et al 2002].
		The Mediator pattern reduces coupling by keeping track of different objects and establishing how one object should react to an event of another without these objects knowing about each other.
		Create a Mediator class to be the main listener for the events of the abstract task.

	Coordinate User Interface Development with VB.NET and the MVC Pattern
		To make this collaboration work, you need to introduce another pattern into the mix: the Mediator pattern.
		The Mediator's job is to coordinate interaction between the user interface framework and the View(s) that it controls.
		For example, the Mediator would add items to the main menu, and react to their click events by displaying the appropriate View.
