Question

Which of the following truly describes Mediators?

(a) Encapsulation whereby some components is encased within an alternative abstraction

(b) Translation between assumptions of an arbitrary component to some provides assumptions of some other arbitrary components

(c) Incorporation of planning function that in effect results in runtime determination of the translation

(d) None of the mentioned

I got this question in examination.

I'm obligated to ask this question of Component Based Systems in chapter Component Based Systems of Software Architecture

Answer 1

Right choice is (c) Incorporation of planning function that in effect results in runtime determination of the translation

To explain I would say: Mediators are incorporation of planning function that in effect results in runtime determination of the translation.
