Integrated applications contain many ways to interact. A selector is used to route an operation from a client application to one of several possible components for implementation.

Routing to a component is based on dates. For example: Two weeks before school starts, offer a back-to-school special price on our school-related merchandise.

Businesses might have many such routes based on dates. A selector makes a decision to select one route over another at run time based on a date. For example, if the time is just before school starts, then the previous back-to-school offer would be called. However, if it is the season when school is ending, there could be an offer to prepare children for summer.
