Ptolemy II Design Document

The Ptolemy Book is the most recent comprehensive documentation:
  • Claudius Ptolemaeus, Editor, "System Design, Modeling, and Simulation Using Ptolemy II," Ptolemy.org, 2014. Available as a free PDF download, a low-cost paperback and as individual chapters.
    •

    The canonical paper about Ptolemy is:

  • Johan Eker, Jorn Janneck, Edward A. Lee, Jie Liu, Xiaojun Liu, Jozsef Ludvig, Sonia Sachs, Yuhong Xiong, "Taming heterogeneity - the Ptolemy approach," Proceedings of the IEEE, 91(1):127-144,January 2003.
    •

    The Ptolemy Book above documents the current version of Ptolemy II. For older versions of Ptolemy II, the older Ptolemy II Design Documents may be found at:
