Architecture

The two most important packages of the AutoQUEST architecture are the AutoQUEST Core Library and the AutoQUEST Plug-ins. The AutoQUEST Core Library bundles all platform-independent parts defined of the conceptual framework on which AutoQUEST is based (see GeneralInformation/Concept), while the AutoQUEST Plug-ins contain the translation layer and platform layer components. The architecture is completed by a AutoQUEST Frontend package that provides user interfaces and a AutoQUEST Utilities package that contains supporting components. The following UML implementation diagram depicts the architecture in detail.
