Description
The use of object oriented (OO) technologies and methodologies in High-energy Physics has been strongly increasing during the last few years. At the last HepVis'99 workshop, a working group (AIDA) has been formed to systematically design a set of Abstract Types for various components of data analysis tools. The use of these Abstract Types combined with dynamically loadable libraries allows the creation of extremely flexible and powerful data analysis tools.
A set of interfaces and class libraries has been developed for analysis of Ntuple- (Tag-) like data structures. These libraries are part of the Anaphe/LHC++ project and can be used either 'standalone', e.g., in batch programs as well as in (AIDA-compliant) interactive analysis environments. We will present the design criteria for this project, describe the underlying architecture, and show its actual status. An outlook on the project's future development will conclude the presentation.
