|daliuge| Component Development
###############################

Welcome to the |daliuge| Component Developers Guide (DCDG).

The |daliuge| workflow graph execution framework enables an almost complete separation of concerns between graph development and component development. This guide specifically addresses the concern of component development. 
Please refer to the |daliuge| :doc:`../intro` for a top-level introduction to the entire system, and read our `overview paper <http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.ascom.2017.03.007>`_.


*NOTE: The DCDG is work in progress!*
