ABSTRACT: Various code development platforms, such as
the ATHENA Framework [1] of the ATLAS [2] experiment encounter lengthy compilation/linking
times. To augment this situation, the IRIS Development Platform was built as a
software development framework acting as compiler, cross-project linker and
data fetcher, which allow hot-swaps in order to compare various versions of
software under test. The flexibility fostered by IRIS allowed modular exchange
of software libraries among developers, making it a powerful development tool.
The IRIS platform used input data ROOT-ntuples [3]; however a new data model is
sought, in line with the facilities offered by IRIS. The schematic of a
possible new data structuring—as a user implemented object oriented data base,
is presented.
