Process Manager, Even t Manager Patterns/Examples

I have been catching up a bit with the games development literature and I have come across examples of process managers as well as event managers in the pretty nice book entitled Game Code Complete by McShaffry and Graham.

I fonud the code in there quite useful, but I am keen on seeing more examples as presented in that book. I have already some exposure to design patterns, but find more concrete implementations quite inspirational.

I should add that I am not into games development, but rather into real-time trading systems development.

Thanks, I hope that this is not too much of an ill-posed question.
