Could anyone suggest libraries or system where event passing to and from different parts of the system could be achieved? Something like event listeners in Java. I don't want to use function callbacks because we are attempting to use a pure event driven system. I was looking at OSGUIsh (because it easily hooks into OSG, which I am using) but it operators on function callbacks instead of interfaces and its not exactly mature (Its a Alpha release, and barely documented). Thanks in advance.

Assuming C++:

You trivially achieve this through use of boost::bind and boost::function.

Boost.Signals is the usual solution for this purpose; it's very full-featured and useful. There's also this, but don't use it unless you know you need it.
