5.4 Logical Communication Model

Go To Top

The logical communication model defines how logical Nodes exchange information through logical Communication Endpoints.

A logical Communication Endpoint identifies a platform-independent point of exchange. It does not require DDS, REST, RPC, Protocol Buffers, message queues, event streams, files, shared memory, or any other specific mechanism.

Logical endpoints support interaction roles such as Publisher, Subscriber, Requester, Responder, Command Producer, Command Consumer, Event Producer, and Event Consumer. These roles describe logical participation in an exchange without prescribing a protocol or runtime technology.

The logical communication model favours explicit communication over implicit coupling. A logical interaction should identify the participating logical Nodes, the logical Communication Endpoint, the logical information structure exchanged, the logical Runtime Plane, and any governance, Traceability, or Evidence expectations associated with the interaction.
