Software
========

The ``software model`` contains all the information required to generate
and compile the software for the project. Because ROSMOD is an extension
of `ROS <http://www.ros.org>`__, software is organized by ``Packages``,
which are ``ROS`` applications that contain executable code, as well as
*message* and *service* definitions. We have extended and formalized
these concepts (described in the documentation for a ``Package``) and
have included information related to required ``System Libraries`` or
``Source Libraries``. These libraries are defined in the software model
and include relevant attributes required for compilation (e.g.
``link libraries`` or ``include directories``).

In this tutorial, we will not be covering the definition or use of these
libraries, but examples of their use can be found in the
``Blinking LEDs``, ``AGSE`` and ``Traffic Light Controller`` examples.
