Welcome to SimulationGUI’s documentation!

This project involves the development of an Eclipse plug-in to enable easy visualization of task scheduling simulation in Eclipse APP4MC.

It was developed by Philip Okonkwo as a Google Summer of Code 2020 project for The Eclipse Foundation. The mentors for this project are Lukas Krawczyk and Dirk Fauth.
