# Signal Composer
## Architecture
Here is a quick picture about the signaling architecture :
![GlobalArchitecture]
Key here are on both layer, **low** and **high**.
- **Low level** are in charge of handle a data exchange protocol to
decode/encode and retransmit with an AGL compatible format, most convenient
way using **Application Framework** event. These are divised in two parts,
which are :
- Transport Layer plug-in that read/write 1 protocol.
- Decoding/Encoding part that expose signals and a way to access them.
- **High level signal composer** gathers multiple **low level** signaling
sources and creates new virtuals signals from the **raw** signals defined (eg.
signal made from gps latitude and longitude that calcul the heading of
vehicle). It is modular and each signal source should be handled by specific
plugins which take care of get the underlying event from **low level** or
define signaling composition with simple or complex operation to output value
from **raw** signals
There are three main parts with **Signal Composer**:
- Configuration files which could be splitted in differents files. That will
define:
- metadata with name of **signal composer** api name
- additionnals configurations files
- plugins used if so, **low level** signals sources
- signals definitions
- Dedicated plugins
- Signal composer API
## Terminology
Here is a little terminology guide to set the vocabulary:
- **sources**
- **signals**
- **api**
- **event**
- **callbacks**
- **action**
- **virtual signals**
- **raw signals**
