I don't want to sound negative, but GUI part is imo least important. I
think that n-tier rameworks has its puprose still, as such aproach
provides you with kind of plug-in mechanism - don't you like simple
storage? So just use some kind of db, while your above layer still can
call the same function name and does not require to change. Abstraction
is usefull sometimes :-)
Well, I will wait for more material from your part, but two parts I will
be interested in mostly are:
- FSM - workflow - what gets what state upon what conditions, where is
it forwarded, what action occures, etc. - strong workload organisation ...
- distribution - what model is used beneath the surface? Will it work
upon IOS, will it use any kind of P2P? Any other server model? What
workload is it able to handle? Will it be fast enough? Will it allow
off-line functinality where it does make sense etc etc etc ..
