Subject: Event Resolution Framework

Has anyone ever pursued creating a library/framework for the abstract
management of event resolution models?

I'm coding a game where character actions of all players are planned
ahead of time, and then these actions are executed all at the same time.
This, obviously, means that I will need to develop logic to resolve
event conflicts. For example, character A decides to send a message to
character B, at the same time that character C decides to shoot
character A. So my game logic needs to decide which events take
precedence (does character A get off his message before getting shot?)
and so forth.

I was curious if anyone had every worked on some kind of generic event
management framework that could underlie an actual gaming engine. Anyone
heard of anything like that?
