Title : Configuring Systems from Components: The EMS Approach
Authors : J.M.Nogiec, K.Trombly-Freytag, D.Walbridge
Abstract : 
EMS is an exercise in component technology. It offers rapid development
of specialized data acquisition, visualization and analysis systems via
assembly from vertical and horizontal components. The framework supports
a visual builder that shows connections between components and lists
component properties. T he system offers both off-line setup of
properties and run-time modifications. The assembled applications are
data driven, with control provided either by GUI components or scripts.
Multi-bus architecture allows for independent routing of data, controls,
debugs, and exceptions. The architecture, configuration process, and
control of applications through multi-language scripting are presented.
