1. Introduction

Structuring a system into subsystems helps reduce complexity. A common design goal is to minimize the communication and dependencies between subsystems. A Facade defines a higher-level interface that makes the subsystem easier to use. This is also called a fat interface in some cases, and delegation model.

1.1 Deliverables Overview

The participants in the Facade pattern include:

Facade
Knows which subsystem classes are responsible for a request and delegates client requests to the appropriate subsystem object.

The deliverable is mostly vacuous in that we want to capture the participants abstractions.

The CoreLinux++ team will deliver Facade implementations for specific cases as needed.

Users can utilize the participant abstractions as a basis for creating their own Facade implementation outside of the libcorelinux++ library.

2. Functional Requirements
