1. An object oriented communication system on a computer platform, comprising, within a single homogenous computer program package:

  • means for supporting full asynchronous, multithreaded and multithread safe external data representation without invoking an interface definition language, said means for supporting external data representation without invoking an interface definition language comprising computer code which implicitly encodes and decodes transferred data;

    means for propagating events in both push and pull communication modes with uniform functions and enabling an application programmer to select which mode is used for a given logical connection within a single application program interface and even during said connection;

    means for distributing events; and

    means for managing logical connections based on patterns, wherein data is transferred from peer to peer without an intermediary.
