There exists a number of ways to communicate between the processes:
* sockets
* named pipes
* memory-mapped files (shared memory)
* mailslots
* etc.

You can check MsgConnect ( http://www.eldos.com/msgconnect/ ) it was designed for the tasks similar to yours and it lets you build flexible communication via MMF or sockets.
