Volume 2 of the Ptolemy documentation describes the software architecture in quite a bit of detail. I would provide a link, but the website appears to be down right now. If you go to http://ptolemy.org and look for documentation, you can find it.
The short story is that the software is divided roughly as follows: Ptolemy core: kernel, actor, data, graph, and math packages. These do not depend on anything else and provide the infrastructure. Ptolemy domains: sdf, pn, continuous, etc. These depend on the core and provide the execution engines. MoML: This provides the XML syntax. diva: This provides enhancements to swing that are generic GUI capabilities. It does not depend on anything else. Vergil: This provides the graphical editor. It depends on everything else. Edward On 8/3/10 1:39 AM, Katarzyna Bylec wrote: > Hello, > > I'm investigating usage of MoML + Ptolemy II as a base for workflow > description and processing.
