Launcher

Launcher (MMIRegisterService)

The launcher is the main component that starts the overall MMI environment. In particular, the component can optionally start all services and the available adapters using the MExecutableDescription file. Moreover, the component serves as central registry and provides information regarding the available adapters, services and MMUs. Especially, the target engine uses the Launcher to access the available Motion Model Units. It can be therefore considered as logical communication layer.
