        abstract = {The D- BUS is indeed an INTER -PROCESS- COMMUNICATION(IPC) system allow application to communicate with each other on the same mechanism. it provides a standard way for application to exchange the data and signals facilitating communication through a user – defined protocol and API. D-BUS is a part of the free desktop.org project and is used in various application including desktop notification and media player control. D-BUS message includes method calls; method return and signals. And objects on the bus are identified by unique paths and interfaces although D-BUS is a heavily tied to UNIX environments. the protocol itself can be implemented on the other platforms. D-BUS is not exclusively an UNIX only technology theory. but in practice. it is designed for an optimized for UNIX like system it is authentication, socket communication and many API features assume a UNIX environment and attempt to use it on WINDOWS or other NON-UNIX platforms will encounter significant limitation for CROSS-PLATFORMS IPC others mechanism may be more suitable.},
