| 439 | | to connect ports on components that are in the same or different waveform applications. This capability, provided with the ability to create and run single-component applications, allows users to build ad-hoc applications by launching components as waveforms and connecting them at run time to form a temporary, larger composite application. The composite application can be configured by configuring properties of its constituent applications using the WaveDash tool. Further, the Connect Tool provides for automatic instantiation and tear-down of applications, and automated connections and routing of data among standard applications, single-component applications, and plug-in tools, by specifying the applications/components/plug-ins and behavior in an XML file. This enables dynamic reconfiguration of SDR applications at run time, a capability that can be very useful in cognitive radio implementations $\cite{Cormier2009}$. |
