Description

DART2 is a ground up re-write of the DART server. Some very different design critera are being used for DART2, some of which are described in this document. DART2 is currently being designed and implemented as part of NAMIC's Core 2 Engineering activities. A progress report was given at the 2006 NAMIC All Hands Meeting in Salt Lake City.

Documentation, Resources & Plans

This page serves as the main Dart home page. Most questions can be answered in the Dart manual, if not, please see the Dart mailing list.

Currently, Dart is being used for the Slicer3 dashboard. Over the upcoming months, Dart will be adapted and "hardened" for the enterprise environment. This mainly consists of using MySQL rather than Derby. MySQL is highly scalable with mature management tools, mitigating a point of failure for Dart (though Derby performs wonderfully for most applications).

Source code

The Source code for Dart2 is current under the Subversion revision control system (homepage), and may be browsed or checked out:

 svn co http://svn.na-mic.org/svn/Dart/trunk Dart

Status

The current plan is that DART2 will be written in the single language Java. Besides its simplicity and portability, Java provides many different packages dedicated to particular programming tasks. Some of the packages used in DART2 are described here including accompaning descriptions and licenses.
