Description
Software plays an important role in the optimisation and design of detectors for the
ILC. Over the past years, a first version of a coherent software system has been
developed within the ILC community. It is based on a common data format, LCIO, and on
the definition of interfaces between different parts of the simulation and
reconstruction chain. Particular emphasis is put on a highly modular structure, which
ensures that the system is open for future developments and can involve with time.
The current implementation of this system is based on C++, but the modular structure
in principle allows the use of other languages like Fortran or Java or others. In
this talk the state of the software structures and the strategy for further evolution
is discussed.
