+<p><i>Publish and Subscribe</i> has replaced System Agent and the usage
+of temporary Shared Data keys.</p>
+<p>Publish and Subscribe allows the setting, retrieving and monitoring
+of system-wide variables and provides a new inter process communication (IPC)
+mechanism for peer to peer communication between threads. Threads may have
+the role of the publisher or of the subscriber, while any thread can define
+the property to be published. The process that defines a property can specify
+access rights for both reading and writing. Rights can be defined in terms
+of either requiring a particular <xref href="GUID-6971B0A2-F79B-4E05-8AF3-BB1FC1932A22.dita">capability</xref>,
+by a process <xref href="GUID-3B6E25F7-C1A8-461F-97F7-421DB559BC98.dita#GUID-3B6E25F7-C1A8-461F-97F7-421DB559BC98/GUID-EEC50FC0-46D5-4ED7-AD95-67430D5EC652">Secure

+<p>Publish and Subscribe should be considered under any of the following
+conditions:</p>
+<ul>
+<li><p>An event should be sent simultaneously to multiple places
+over the system.</p></li>
+<li><p>Only the last value of the property is significant, not the
+intermediate values.</p></li>
+<li><p>The source of the value is not significant. The value may
+have been set by any publisher with proper rights.</p></li>
+</ul>
