Live Model

This document will describe the live model used by madz.

Daemon Server

This is the core managing component of the live setup. The Daemon Server is a server which is started for each madz based project. In reality it can manage more than one at a time.

The server is generally responsible for handling the threading model and loading madz plugins for different purposes.

Commands:

• "identity-concepts": Describes the concepts of identity the daemon provides. Including serialization methods for how to transmit them over the wire.
• "handler-required": notifies the server it expects a handler based on the object passed which is an identity method supported by the server. The server will try to create an instance of the handler, potentially loading a plugin. It will return either an error report, or a success report containing the information about how to connect to the handler.

Madz Created Handlers

The daemon will also be responsible for handling internal handlers. It will create these through the same interface, albeit without a network connection, as the above.

It can then create sub-processes which communicate with the handler it created. Eventually this will be automatic through the interplugin layer.
