[cosmic-users] CoSMIC 0.7.8 is available

[Sumant Tambe]

Hi folks,

The Component Synthesis using Model-Integrated Computing (CoSMIC)
release 0.7.8 is out and the installers are available for download at
http://www.dre.vanderbilt.edu/cosmic/html/download.html

The CoSMIC tool-suite consists of

  o  Platform-Independent Component Modeling Language (PICML)
  o  Component QoS Modeling Language (CQML)
  o  DDS QoS Modeling Language (DQML)

PICML is a Model-Integrated Computing (MIC) based paradigm for modeling 
CORBA Component Model (CCM) based applications, which use the latest 
Deployment and Configuration Specification (D&C), for configuration and 
deployment. CQML allows PICML-based models to capture the higher level 
QoS design intent and helps generate QoS configuration metadata from 
annotated models. DQML allows modeling of large number QoS knobs 
provided by DDS.

New features introduced in the latest version are:
