Package edu.iu.iv.core Description

This package contains all the Core Interfaces in use in the IVC System.

Developers should only use the IVC singleton to get to the registries, facades, gui, scheduler, and other global information.

The three important interfaces for developers wishing to add to the system are the Plugin, Algorithm, and Persister interfaces. In order to have their custom Plugins (Algorithms are to be wrapped by plugins also) and Persisters registered with the system a plugin writer simply has to jar up his compiled code and put the jar in the IVC system's plugin directory before starting the system. When the system starts the jar will be scanned and all Persisters and Plugins found will be put into their respective registries and thus be integrated into the system.
