Version 0.1 of the Ptolemy II Design document is now available at http://ptolemy.eecs.berkeley.edu/ptolemyII/doc/design.html Please take a look. We welcome feedback. We hope to have Ptolemy II version 0.1 released shortly. Ptolemy II 0.1 will include the Design document and the Ptolemy II core Java packages, but will not include the GUI or any of the domains. We view the 0.1 release as a "developers release" for people interested in working on innovative domains, or people interested in better understanding what we are doing (and giving us early feedback). It will not be particularly useful to end users, since it has no domains. In house, we several domains that are operational, including DE, SDF, CT (continuous time), PN, FSM, and CSP (communicating sequential processes). All of these will be included in the 1.0 release of Ptolemy II, which will be the first release that is useful to end users. But the code for these domains is not yet ready for public consumption, and the actor library (formerly "star" library) is too limited. Over the next couple of months we expect to putting applets on the web that use these domains and demonstrate their capabilities. We plan the 1.0 release to roughly coincide with the Ptolemy Miniconference on February 19. Watch this space! Edward ------------ Edward A.
