MVCISIS

MVCISIS is a hypothetical software architecture pattern that combines principles from Model-View-Controller (MVC) and a conceptual understanding of ISIS (Information, Storage, Interface, and Services). The core idea is to create a structured and maintainable way to build applications that handle complex data and user interactions.

In this pattern, the Model represents the application's data and business logic. It's responsible for managing the data, performing operations on it, and notifying observers when changes occur. The View is concerned with presenting the data to the user and receiving user input. It should be as "dumb" as possible, simply displaying what the Model provides.

The Controller acts as an intermediary between the Model and the View. It receives user input from the View, processes it, and updates the Model accordingly. It also selects the appropriate View to display based on the application's state and user actions.

The ISIS aspect is integrated by explicitly defining four distinct areas within the application's design. Information refers to the data itself, aligning with the Model. Storage addresses how this data is persisted, which could be a part of the Model or a separate layer interacting with the Model. Interface encompasses the user interface elements and their behavior, largely belonging to the View. Services represent reusable functionalities or external integrations that the application might utilize, often accessed and managed by the Controller or a dedicated services layer.

MVCISIS aims to promote modularity, testability, and separation of concerns by providing a clear framework for organizing application components. This structured approach is intended to simplify development and maintenance, particularly for applications with rich user interfaces and significant data management requirements.
