BRICS Visitor

broward horne -

We have several functions to run against the set of BRICS countries.  The visitor pattern executes sequential functions against a set of hetereogenous objects (realms) which support the function signatures.  For now, assume the visitor runs continously as a background process.

  • Collect transaction data
  • Calculate exchange rates
  • Rebalance reserve pools

Let's derive the 1st version of the visitor methods.

  • getTxs() - returns a set of transactions (timestamp, orderID, amount, payerRealm, payeeRealm)
  • setFXRates() - sends a set of exchange rates (realmID, number). Each realm maintains its own exchange rates so they can free-float between realms and even run assymmetrical rates between two realms. There's an arbitrage here eventually.
  • debitPool(realmID) - removes a count from pool total, adds same count to realm of origin

REALM

Needs two methods on Realm - SendTx() and AcceptTx() but I don't have them figured out yet.
