Virtual Laboratory Environment 1.3

See AUTHORS and COPYRIGHT for the list of contributors.

VLE is an operational framework for multi-modeling, simulation and analysis of complex dynamical systems. It addresses the reliability issue by using recent developments in the theory of modeling and simulation proposed by B. Zeigler with the Discrete Event System Specification formalism (DEVS).

Requirements

For the VFL API:

• glibmm (≥ 2.22)
• libxml2 (≥ 2.8)
• libarchive (≥ 2.0)
• boost (≥ 1.41)
• cmake (≥ 2.8.0)
• make (≥ 1.8)
• c++ compiler (gcc ≥ 4.4, clang ≥ 3.1, intel icc (≥ 11.0)

For the MPI command line:

• Any MPI 2 library as OpenMpi, mpich

For the GUI:

• gtkmm (≥ 3.0.0)
• gtksourceview (≥ 2.0.0)

Getting the code

The source tree is currently hosted on Github and Sourceforge. To view the repository online: https://github.com/vle-forge/vle The URL to clone it:
