AGNI - DISTRIBUTED SCRIPTING FOR THE PEOPLE!

URL:

http://badger.antd.nist.gov:8099/web-pages/

DESCRIPTION:

AGNI is a multi-threaded middleware for scripting distributed,
event-oriented applications. AGNI allows you to script distributed peer
to peer applications from a single point of control and includes
mechanisms for dynamic reconfiguration and extension.

AGNI is based on Tcl 8.1 and exploits its thread-saftey features.

AGNI is based on a "MOBILE STREAMS" paradigm. A distributed application
is structured as a set of communicating end points  (Mobile Streams)
with handlers attached to them. Events cause the handlers to "fire". The
system may be dynamically extended and re-configured by moving the
end-points (and associated handlers) around.  Handlers execute
concurrently (each in its own thread and with its own Tcl interpreter).

PLATFORMS:

AGNI Has been tested on SOLARIS and LINUX.  It compiles and runs under
Win32 although it has not been entirely tested on this platform.

APPLICATIONS:

We developed AGNI for distributed testing, monitoring and control
oriented applications.
