This chapter details the content of the XML description and configuration files used with OASIS4.
The description XML files, i.e. the ADs and PMIODs, should be created
by the component model developer, either by hand or with the
graphical user interface wizard.tcl available in
oasis4/util/gui, to provide information about the general
characteristics and the potential coupling interface of its code, but
they are not used by the OASIS4 coupler.
The configuration XML files, i.e. the SCC and the SMIOCs, must be created by the coupled model user, i.e. the person that builds the coupled model, either by hand or with the graphical user interface oasis-gui.tcl available in oasis4/util/gui. They provide specifications about the process management and the coupling and I/O exchanges of one particular coupled model and are used by the OASIS4 coupler.
