The Ptolemy project is an ongoing project aimed at modeling, simulating, and designing concurrent, real-time,embedded system s. The focus of the Ptolemy project is on assembling concurrent components. The principal product of the project is the Ptolemy IImodel based design and simulation tool. The Ptolemy project is conducted in the [http://chess.eecs.berkeley.edu/ Center for Hybrid and Embedded Software Systems (CHESS)] in the [http://www.eecs.berkeley.edu/ Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences] of the University of California at Berkeley, and is directed by [http://ptolemy.eecs.berkeley.edu/~eal/ Prof. Edward A. Lee] .The key underlying principle in the project is the use of well-defined models of computation that govern the interaction between components. A major problem area being addressed is the use of heterogeneous mixtures of models of computation.
The project is named after Claudius Ptolemaeus, the second century Greek astronomer, mathematician, and geographer.
The Kepler Project, a community-driven collaboration among researchers at three other
University of California campuses which seeks to produce an open-source scientific workflow system, is based on Ptolemy II.External links
