But there are big projects. like the the "Model of an SQL Server", using coordinators no problems running threads and exchange Data through a Backbone. I have searched a lot, but I havent find anything to write the "core" splited up into modules and geting over the scopes etc.

Ps.: The Socket, the DB has to be kept allways open, because of it's Server functionality, A lot of Sensors, Timers, User interaction, must recived , Calculated, etc so a reaction must be send in about 16~100 ms, different modules opens and closes Sockets or files, could result in a dead situation.
