The Imperion Threading System.
Douglas A. Lyon · The Journal of Object Technology · 2004
This paper describes the use of the command, facade and decorator design patterns to alter the interface and add new responsibilities to threads.Termed Project Imperion, the threads are developed with the same design patterns as previously reported for Imperion GUI components [Lyon 2004b].The benefits of Imperion threading include: simplifying code, easing maintenance, separation of thread management logic from the business logic and improved reliability.
