Fair enough -- the design pattern described in your references pretty much nails what we're doing.

I think what we have mind is different from David Doshay's MPI stuff. We're not trying to parallelize to speed things up. We are working on a serial machine (okay, technically mine is dual-processor, but I don't think about that) and finding ways to avoid some of the computation by updating only the objects that might change. With luck, we can design the system to it's easy to plug in new components (detectors, patterns, move suggestors, whatever) without having to modify the existing code.
