     Hi Ian, 
       
      Ptolemy II is a great framework indeed. The book describes it in
      detail, including most of their "models of computation" (MoC). 
      Remark that if you're mainly interested in applying it for
      scientific workflows, the 2 main MoCs of interest are the process
      networks and the event driven ones. These have been applied in
      Passerelle, the predecessor of Triquetrum. 
       
      Also, as Matt explained, Triquetrum builds on Ptolemy II, and will
      provide an RCP-based Ptolemy model editor. 
      But a second line of work in Triquetrum is rather independent of
      Ptolemy, focusing on reusable Task-based APIs and services. 
      These could be driven from workflows or from other things, like
      direct user-triggered actions in a GUI. 
       
      My hope for new projects in the Science group would indeed be that
      we collaborate on defining and providing reusable APIs and
      libraries, and would also apply them in the specific final
      applications.  
       
      DAWNSci for loading datasets and manipulating them, would be a
      first option already, and is available.  
       
      Triquetrum is just starting up, and the initial contribution is
      still being prepared. There is the code base of its predecessor,
      Passerelle, to start with, but there are no constraints at this
      moment to evolve/improve to whatever is relevant for the
      Science-related projects. And it would be great to be able to
      align with new projects from the start. 
       
      So when you are doing your design, it would be interesting to
      exchange requirements and ideas and see if/how we could integrate
      your needs in the Triquetrum APIs, so they could be of use for
      you. 
       
      enjoy your holidays,

      Thanks for your support over the last couple of days guys.
I'm off on two weeks vacation this evening, which should give me a
chance to consolidate the advice, guidance, and suggestions you've
given (and explore the "prior work" in the surprisingly weighty
"System Design, Modeling, and Simulation using Ptolemy II").
On my return I look forward to identifying the assorted IP, License,
and third-party-library conundrums and drawing on your expertise once
again - then I'll be full-speed-ahead with design and implementation.
Cheers,
Ian

        Everyone,
Please let me introduce you to Ian Mayo and his product, Debrief
http://debrief.info/get-debrief/
Debrief if a Maritime Analysis Workbench based on the Eclipse RCP. Ian sent
me some information about it this morning and it looks very cool!
Jay
