* When an abstraction has two aspects, one dependent on the other. Encapsulating these aspects in separate objects lets you vary and reuse them independently.
* When a change to one object requires changing others, and you don't know how many objects need to be changed.
* When an object should be able to notify other objects without making assumptions about who these objects are. In other words, you don't want these objects tightly coupled.
* This pattern is especially useful in event-driven systems where changes in one object need to be automatically reflected in multiple dependent objects.
