Inter Application Communication in opendaylight controller

I am new to opendaylight and I seek help regarding following:

How can I make two different applications communicate with each other? Can I have something like a communication bus for my selected set of applications that can transfer data to each other? Or Do I need to have a single application with submodules (with different features ) to achieve the same task, i.e feature communication in this case.

The main feature that sets OpenDaylight (ODL) apart from other SDN controllers is the Model-Driven Service Abstraction Layer (MD-SAL), which provides a framework to share structured/modeled data and send notifications between ODL applications, among other things.

If you want to transfer data between ODL applications, you first need to model it using YANG, and include the YANG model in one of the applications.

To take advantage of the features offered by MD-SAL, please take a look at the official documentation. Once you understand the architecture, you should look at the source code of existing applications to see examples of how to take advantage of the power of MD-SAL.
