Acquaintance is an in-memory message bus and safe concurrency engine. It provides the mechanisms to support modular and loosely-coupled applications, easy work distribution between threads and serialization of work for thread-unsafe resources.

At it's core, Acquaintance implements several messaging patterns: Publish/Subscribe, Request/Response and Scatter/Gather. These three patterns represent a fundamental basis for implementing more complex patterns and workflows to improve communication and code organization.

See the Project Website for detailed documentation and examples.
