The kernel represents the root object within a merlin system.
It provides access to a root container and exposes operations
enabling system startup and shutdown. The kernel is created
using a kernel factory (see
embedding
).

Description
|
|
Embeddable
|
The kernel provides support for generic embedding within
diverse application scenarios. In all cases the the approach
to embedding leverages a kernal factory that can be parameterized
to suite the particular embedding scenario.

|
Model Access
|
The kernel provides application programmers with access to the
root containment model, enabling dynamic addition and removal
of deployment models.
