The observer design pattern enables a subscriber to register with and receive notifications from a provider. It's suitable for any scenario that requires push-based notification. The pattern defines a provider (also known as a subject or an observable) and zero, one, or more observers. Observers register with the provider, and whenever a predefined condition, event, or state change occurs, the provider automatically notifies all observers by invoking a delegate. In this method call, the provider can also provide current state information to observers. In .NET, the observer design pattern is applied by implementing the generic System.IObservable and System.IObserver interfaces. The generic type parameter represents the type that provides notification information.

The observer design pattern is suitable for distributed push-based notifications, because it supports a clean separation between two different components or application layers, such as a data source (business logic) layer and a user interface (display) layer. The pattern can be implemented whenever a provider uses callbacks to supply its clients with current information.
A provider or subject, which is the object that sends notifications to observers. A provider is a class or structure that implements the IObservable interface. The provider must implement a single method, IObservable.Subscribe, which is called by observers that wish to receive notifications from the provider.
An observer, which is an object that receives notifications from a provider. An observer is a class or structure that implements the IObserver interface. The observer must implement three methods, all of which are called by the provider:
A mechanism that allows the provider to keep track of observers. Typically, the provider uses a container object, such as a System.Collections.Generic.List object, to hold references to the IObserver implementations that have subscribed to notifications. Using a storage container for this purpose enables the provider to handle zero to an unlimited number of observers. The order in which observers receive notifications isn't defined; the provider is free to use any method to determine the order.
An IDisposable implementation that enables the provider to remove observers when notification is complete. Observers receive a reference to the IDisposable implementation from the Subscribe method, so they can also call the IDisposable.Dispose method to unsubscribe before the provider has finished sending notifications.
An object that contains the data that the provider sends to its observers. The type of this object corresponds to the generic type parameter of the IObservable and IObserver interfaces. Although this object can be the same as the IObservable implementation, most commonly it's a separate type.
In addition to implementing the observer design pattern, you may be interested in exploring libraries that are built using the IObservable and IObserver interfaces. For example, Reactive Extensions for .NET (Rx) consist of a set of extension methods and LINQ standard sequence operators to support asynchronous programming.
The following example uses the observer design pattern to implement an airport baggage claim information system. A BaggageInfo class provides information about arriving flights and the carousels where baggage from each flight is available for pickup. It's shown in the following example.
Clients that wish to receive updated information call the BaggageHandler.Subscribe method. If the client hasn't previously subscribed to notifications, a reference to the client's IObserver implementation is added to the _observers collection.
The overloaded BaggageHandler.BaggageStatus method can be called to indicate that baggage from a flight either is being unloaded or is no longer being unloaded. In the first case, the method is passed a flight number, the airport from which the flight originated, and the carousel where baggage is being unloaded. In the second case, the method is passed only a flight number. For baggage that is being unloaded, the method checks whether the BaggageInfo information passed to the method exists in the _flights collection. If it doesn't, the method adds the information and calls each observer's OnNext method. For flights whose baggage is no longer being unloaded, the method checks whether information on that flight is stored in the _flights collection. If it is, the method calls each observer's OnNext method and removes the BaggageInfo object from the _flights collection.
When the last flight of the day has landed and its baggage has been processed, the BaggageHandler.LastBaggageClaimed method is called. This method calls each observer's OnCompleted method to indicate that all notifications have completed, and then clears the _observers collection.
The provider's Subscribe method returns an IDisposable implementation that enables observers to stop receiving notifications before the OnCompleted method is called. The source code for this Unsubscriber(Of BaggageInfo) class is shown in the following example. When the class is instantiated in the BaggageHandler.Subscribe method, it's passed a reference to the _observers collection and a reference to the observer that is added to the collection. These references are assigned to local variables. When the object's Dispose method is called, it checks whether the observer still exists in the _observers collection, and, if it does, removes the observer.
The following example contains the application entry point that instantiates the BaggageHandler class and two instances of the ArrivalsMonitor class, and uses the BaggageHandler.BaggageStatus method to add and remove information about arriving flights. In each case, the observers receive updates and correctly display baggage claim information.
This paper presents a general statistical methodology for the analysis of multivariate categorical data arising from observer reliability studies. The procedure essentially involves the construction of functions of the observed proportions which are directed at the extent to which the observers agree among themselves and the construction of test statistics for hypotheses involving these functions. Tests for interobserver bias are presented in terms of first-order marginal homogeneity and measures of interobserver agreement are developed as generalized kappa-type statistics. These procedures are illustrated with a clinical diagnosis example from the epidemiological literature.
The Max Carrier size column shows the maximum value seen by observer since the last node change or since the start of the application, i.e. switching nodes will reset the max column. Values are sampled so higher values may have existed than what is shown.
APG observer jurisdictions are those jurisdictions that are either considering APG membership or those jurisdictions that have a presence outside the APG region but fully support the work of the APG. There are currently 8 observer jurisdictions as follows:
During aerial surveys, waterfowl are difficult to identify to species and to accurately estimate flock size. Several tools are now available to assist aerial observers with both species identification and count estimation. A recent book is described here; see other pages on this web site for video-based training and for testing tools.
COCORAHS CELEBRATES 25 YEARS DURING 2023
CoCoRaHS officially began on June 17, 1998. With a few observers along Colorado's Front Range, we had no idea that the network would become what it is today, with over 26,000 active observers in the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam and the Bahamas. A truly remarkable effort by all of you. Please join us as we celebrate twenty-five years all summer long. Here's to many more on the horizon.
