TANGRAM-II makes extensive use of TGIF (Tangram Graphic Interface Facility). TGIF has its own copyright.
The first version of TANGRAM was developed in Prolog [#!obj90!#] and a graphic interface called TGIF was also implemented and became later a full fledge independent general purpose sophisticated drawing tool [#!tgif!#]. From 1993 till 1994, several solvers were implemented, including those for transient analysis and for models with ``deterministic events''. The development of the TANGRAM-II environment started in 1997 [#!Tangram98!#].
The tool was completely re-designed and among the new features we mention [#!Tangram00!#]: a mathematical model generation implemented in C++; new constructs added to the language; new analytical solvers; a new user interface implemented in Java; TGIF constructs to facilitate the interaction with the new tool; an interactive simulator based on TANGRAM's paradigm. Recently, several modules have been implemented for computer network traffic modeling and analysis [#!tools2000-tmod!#]. Finally, a Whiteboard tool and a voice transmission tool are being incorporated in the environment [#!sbrc-wb!#,#!wb2000!#,#!glob99!#]. As soon as they are integrated with the environment, these tools will facilitate the development of models by groups at different locations.
The architecture of TANGRAM-II tool is shown in Figure ![[*]](/usr/share/latex2html/icons/crossref.png){kind=icon}

The modeling paradigm was conceived by Dr. Steven Berson, Prof. Edmundo de Souza e Silva and Prof. Richard Muntz in 1989. This paradigm was adopted by the TANGRAM tool developed in 1989 and led by Richard Muntz.
The TANGRAM-II modeling environment was conceived by Prof. Edmundo de Souza e Silva and Prof. Rosa Maria Leão. Prof. Richard Muntz participated as a major consultant and in the discussions that led to the TANGRAM-II project. The current principal investigators are Edmundo de Souza e Silva and Rosa Maria Leão.
The drawing interface adopted by TANGRAM-II is the same as that conceived for TANGRAM (TGIF) and was developed by Dr. William Cheng. Several goodies were included in TGIF to support the needs of TANGRAM-II. Dr. Cheng implemented the modifications in TGIF and participated in the design discussions.
The first version of the mathematical model generator was implemented by Luiz Rogerio G. de Carvalho in 1997. This model was completely re-designed and re-implemented by Daniel Ratton Figueiredo and Carlos F. de Brito. The re-design included many new constructs that were added to the TANGRAM-II language, and reward-based measures. The hash function and AVL tree was implemented by Magnos Martinello.
The analytical solvers were designed/coded by: Yuguang Wu, João Carlos Guedes, Morganna Carmem Diniz, Edmundo de Souza e Silva, Carlos F. de Brito, João Abdalla and Ana Paula Couto da Silva. The simulator was designed by Daniel Ratton Figueiredo, and the FARIMA and FBM modules were implemented by Adenilson Raniery S. Pontes (under the guidance of Prof. Rosangela Coelho).
The module that calculates/plots measures of interest based on state probabilities was implemented by Antonio Mauricio N. Tartarini. The JAVA interfaces were designed and implemented by Kelvin de Freitas Reinhardt, Adriane de Quevedo Cardozo, Flavio Pimentel Duarte and Guilherme D. G. Jaime. They also have been debuggind and including several new features since 2000. The interfaces between the solvers and the JAVA screens was re-designed by Sidney Cunha de Lucena. The module used to visualize and permute matrices was designed and implemented by Fernando Jorge Silveira Filho and Daniel Sadoc Menasche.
The TANGRAM-II simulator (that includes support for rare event simulation) was designed and implemented by Daniel Ratton Figueiredo. Kelvin de Freitas Reinhardt implemented new features to support fluid simulation with the help of Bruno F. Martins Ribeiro. The TANGRAM-II parser has been improved and maintained by Jorge Allyson Azevedo, Guilherme D. G. Jaime and Flavio Pimentel Duarte. Within the simulator, the module that generates random numbers was rebuilt by Guilherme D. G. Jaime and Fernando Fernando Jorge Silveira Filho. They also have been debuggind and including several new features to the simulator since 2000.
The traffic modeling environment was implemented by Sidney Cunha de Lucena. The traffic generator was implemented by Daniel Ratton Figueiredo, Carlos F. de Brito and Magnos Martinello. Fabiano de Azevedo Portella participated in the implementation of its user interfaces as well as the program for calculating traffic measures from the Tangram-II traffic trace format. Magnos Martinello implemented the traffic generator interface to ATM switches. Antonio A. de Aragão Rocha implemented new traffic generation features and options that were added to the 2.1 version of Tangram-II. Hugo Sato worked on the graphical interfaces for these new features.
The first version of the Whiteboard Tool was designed and implemented by Edmundo de Souza e Silva, William Cheng, Renato Santana, Carlos F. de Brito, Magnos Martinello, Raphael S. de Moraes, Denise Jorge de Oliveira and Flavio Pimentel Duarte. The develop team of the second version of the Whiteboard Tool was: Edmundo de Souza e Silva, William Cheng, Jorge Allyson Azevedo, Milena Scanferla and Daniel Sadoc.
Participated in the implementation of the voice tool, VivaVoz: Daniel Ratton
Figueiredo, Flavio Pimentel Duarte. Carolina Vielmond and Edmundo
Grune de Souza e Silva have implemented a graphical user interface for VivaVoz
its voice mixer, a new trace colector, and are now the tool's current
maintainers.
Ana Paula Couto da Silva was responsible for the examples and the TANGRAM-II tutorial, based on the contribution of many people, including those above. Daniel Figueiredo was the project leader till mid 1999, and he still acts as a consultant. Kelvin de Freitas Reinhardt, Adriane de Quevedo Cardozo, and Flavio Pimentel Duarte have been responsible for putting version 1.2-6 together and several subsequent versions. For version 2.1, Carolina Vielmond and Hugo Sato created the autotools scripts that enable the Tangram-II source code to be compiled on several Linux plattaforms.
We would like to thank our colleagues from the ALMADEM and COMIT projects: Prof. Berthier Ribeiro Neto, Dr. Jorge Moreira, Prof. Paulo Aguiar, Prof. Rosangela Coelho, Prof. Jose Augusto Suruagy Monteiro, Prof. Sergio Campos, Prof. Nelson Fonseca, Prof. Leana Golubchik and Prof. Don Towsley for the insightful discussions that led to many enhancements of TANGRAM-II.
We are in debt to Prof. Virgilio Almeida and Mr. Celso Deusdeti Costa from ProTem/CC (CNPq) who believed in the work of our group. CNPq (ProTem, Pronex, Free Software programs) and FAPERJ provided the main grants that supported our Laboratory.
