Presentation–Abstraction–Control
- A software architectural pattern. PAC is an interaction-oriented software architecture, and is somewhat similar to Model–View–Controller (MVC) in that it separates an interactive system into types of components responsible for specific aspects of the application’s functionality. In PAC, the abstraction component retrieves and processes the data, the presentation component formats the visual and audio presentation of data, and the control component handles things such as the flow of control and communication between the other two components. In contrast to MVC, PAC is used as a hierarchical structure of agents, each consisting of a triad of presentation, abstraction, and control parts. ← Wikipedia
