Virtual Laboratory Environment
==============================
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 simulator and API only:
glibmm 2.10.0 http://www.gtkmm.org
libxml-2.0 2.0.0 http://xmlsoft.org
boost 1.34 http://www.boost.org
For the complete environment:
glibmm 2.10.0 http://www.gtkmm.org
gtkmm 2.12.0 http://www.gtkmm.org
libglademm 2.4.0 http://www.gtkmm.org
libcairomm 1.2.0 http://www.cairographics.org
libxml-2.0 2.0.0 http://xmlsoft.org
boost 1.34 http://www.boost.org
To build VLE you need:
cmake 2.6.0 http://www.cmake.org
make 1.8
gcc, g++ 3.4 minimum

Installation
------------
Several approaches are possible:
1. The following commands configure and build a package for your distribution,
the best way to use VLE:
$ tar zxf vle-0.9.0.tar.gz
or
$ git clone git://vle.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/vle/vle
$ cd vle
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo ..
$ make
$ # for deb distribution (debian, ubuntu etc.)
$ cpack -G DEB
$ dpkg -i vle-0.8.7-Linux-i686.deb
$ # for rpm distribution (redhat, mandrike, suse etc.)
$ cpack -G RPM
$ rpm -i vle-0.8.7-Linux-i686.rpm
2. The following commands configure, build and install VLE into your account
($HOME directory):
$ tar zxf vle-0.9.0.tar.gz
or
$ git clone git://vle.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/vle/vle
$ cd vle
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$HOME/usr -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo ..
$ make
$ make install
Add the following line into your bashrc (if you use bash as shell).:
export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/usr/bin
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:$HOME/usr/lib/pkgconfig
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIRABRY_PATH:$HOME/usr/lib
export MANPATH=$HOME/usr/share/man
Usage
-----
VLE is a multi-modeling environment to build model, to simulate and analys them.
To more information, see the VLE website (http://www.vle-projet.org).
- To start a simulation:
$ vle file.vpz
- To start n simulations:
$ vle file1.vpz file2.vpz [...]
- To start an experimental frame and run all simulations on the local host
$ vle -m -l experimentalframe.vpz
- To start an experimental frame and run all simulations on the local host
using four thread:
$ vle -m -l -o 4 experimentalframe.vpz
- To start an experimental frame and run all simulations on a grid computi
$ vle -m experimentalframe.vpz
- To build a new package
$ vle -P mypackage create
- To configure, build a package
$ vle -P mypackage configure build
- To run vpz in a package
$ vle -P mypackage file.vpz
