	has definition An architectural pattern in which a transaction dispatcher inputs transactions and dispatches them to handlers
	facilitates divide-and-conquer since the design of each handler can be given to separate software engineers
	is a subtopic of 9.5 - Architectural Patterns
	is a kind of architectural pattern
architectural pattern	allows you to design flexible systems using components that are as independent of each other as possible
pattern	should be as general as possible
	should be described in an easy-to-understand form so that people can determine when and how to use it
