translating the output, with a component adapter of a multitude of adaptors, into a message that is receivable by at least one of the multitude of adaptors;

storing a state of the device application based on the output, the state is accessible by the multitude of adapters; and

the multitude of building block components are capable of receiving the message via the multitude of adaptors.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the multitude of adaptors comprise a customer logic section that is configurable to execute one or more functions of the multitude of building block components.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the message is transmitted on a channel that is selectable by the adaptor.

4 . The method of claim 3 , further comprising subscribing, by at least one of the multitude of adaptors, to a topic on the channel; and

wherein the message comprises the topic.

5 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the custom logic section is configurable to execute a function of at least one of the multitude of building block components responsive to receiving the message.

6 . The method of claim 5 , wherein the custom logic section is configurable by a machine readable specification.

7 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising executing, by one of the multitude of adaptors, a function of one of the multitude of building block components responsive to receiving the message.
