Detailed Description

Functions and infrastructure, responsible for the configuration of Nodes from the SLI Interpreter level.

Each node can be configured from the SLI level through a named parameter interface. In order to change parameters, the user can specify name value pairs for each parameter. These pairs are stored in a data structure which is called Dictionary. Likewise, the user can query the configuration of any node by requesting a dictionary with name value pairs.

The configuration interface consists of four functions which implement storage and retrieval of named parameter sets.
