CoreMechanismus
CoreMechanismus is a design concept used to coordinate modular subsystems within complex adaptive environments. It defines a central coordinating layer that orchestrates interactions through standardized interfaces and policy-driven rules, enabling predictable behavior across heterogeneous components.
Etymology and scope: The term is a coinage combining Kern (core) and Mechanismus (mechanism) to emphasize a
Architecture and operation: A CoreMechanismus architecture typically includes a Core Controller, multiple Modules, an Event Bus
Key concepts: Decoupling by interface contracts, state synchronization, event-driven communication, dynamic reconfiguration, observability, and resilience. The
Applications: CoreMechanismus has been applied to industrial automation, distributed robotics, cloud orchestration, and multi-agent systems, where
Advantages and challenges: Benefits include modularity, easier evolution, and traceable behavior. Drawbacks include added architectural complexity,
History and reception: The concept has appeared in engineering discussions since the late 2010s as a pattern
