Abstract
A software architecture includes a router that receives all messages from modules in a software system. Each message is associated with one of several pre-defined message translations, including message attributes, which are maintained by a Keeper database. Individual modules may send messages to the Router requesting that they receive messages having message attributes that match specified criteria. A common messaging control is encodes each message according to a hierarchical format so that any module receiving a message can decode the message and receive data elements from it without knowledge of the precise structure or sequence of data elements in the message.
