This training module has been developed for the use in a lecture and for the use during your self-study
or homework.
Therefore it provides on the one hand an opportunity to demonstrate a process network example in a
lecture and on the other hand you can use it to recapitulate the basics of Kahn Process Networks
on your own. Furthermore, you can explore the specified dynamic behaviour in your process network
by visualising it.
In both use cases, lecture and self-study, different requirements are given for the display and
the functionality of the training module. For this reason the training module provides two different views, the
lecture view and the self-study view.
The lecture view provides assistance during a lecture on Kahn Process Networks.
The focus is on the visualisation and the dynamic behaviour of
a process network. If you switch over to the lecture view, the training module shows
you the full screen representation of your current process network example.
The network editor is not available anymore and you are not able to modify
the current process network. That means, you can not create or remove a process or buffer. Instead of that
you can modify some parameters like the size of a buffer or the execution times of a substep for
demonstrating the resulting behaviour.
The self-study view provides assistance with the autonomous learning
of the basics of Kahn Process Networks. If you switch over to the self-study view the network editor
is available. Within this view you can create new process network examples
or edit existing ones. Combined with the possiblity to execute and visualise the specified
example, you are able to explore the resulting behavior.
In addition, this view serves an online help which consists of this introduction chapter and
a set of tutorials. You could activate or inactivate this online help by the submenu Help
in the main menu.
In the following subsection you will learn something about the composition of the lecture and
the self-study view and how you can toggle between them.
