A software platform that offers a versatile component framework, enabling programmers to develop and maintain software systems efficiently.
The beauty of Kamaelia lies in the fact that it is like a toy box, containing a vast collection of components that users can take, customise, and create their own unique components. Whether you need TCP/multicast clients or servers, backplanes, chassis, Dirac video encoding & decoding, visualization tools, presentation tools, or even Vorbis decoding and games tools, Kamaelia has it all.
One of the primary aims of Kamaelia is to serve as a testbed for network experimentation, with a component architecture that makes it easy to create and test new protocols for large scale media delivery systems. The software's main objective is to enable novice programmers to create scalable and safe concurrent systems quickly and easily.
Kamaelia is divided into two sections: Axon and Kamaelia. The Axon section is a framework that offers wrapping for active objects, such as generators and threads. The resulting library is relatively straightforward, making it easy for novice programmers to learn Python and implement their own version in about a week. The Kamaelia section, on the other hand, is the toy box - a library of components that can be easily customised and bolted together.
It is worth noting that Kamaelia is licensed and distributed under the Mozilla trilicense scheme (MPL/GPL/LGPL). If you want to simplify your development process and create complex concurrent systems without breaking a sweat, then Kamaelia is the perfect software application for you.
