 ===== Overview =====
-EGO stands for //Environment for Geoprocessing Objects//. Dinamica EGO consists of a sophisticated platform for environmental modeling with outstanding possibilities for the design from the very simple static spatial model to very complex dynamic ones.  Its main features includes:
+EGO stands for //Environment for Geoprocessing Objects//. Dinamica EGO is a spatial modeling platform for environmental modeling, flexible enough to design anything from a simple static spatial model to a complex dynamic simulation.
-  * [[lesson_2| Model design as diagrams using data-flow language on a friendly graphical interface]],
+The software is written in C++ and Java. Its algorithms, called functors, are sequenced in graph form to build a visual data flow: each functor performs one operation, and functors connect to each other through their ports, where each port represents a connector to a data element such as a map, a table, a matrix, an expression, or a constant. Models are built by dragging functors from the [[gui_basics|Functor Library]] panel onto the canvas and connecting their ports, so the model itself is a diagram whose execution follows the resulting data flow chain. Models can be saved as [[ego_script|EGO Script]], [[xml_script|EGOML Script]], or EGOMLX. See the [[dinamica_reference|Dinamica Reference]] for the full language, type, and functor reference.

-The software environment, written in C++ and Java, holds a series of algorithms called functors. Each functor performs an operation. We have implemented the most common spatial analysis algorithms available in commercial GIS (Geographic Information System), plus a series of algorithms especially designed for spatial simulations, including transition functions and calibration and validation methods.
-Dinamica EGO functors are sequenced in a graph form to establish a visual data flow. With the help of its graphical interface, one can create models by simply dragging and connecting functors via their ports, each of which represents a connector to a data element, such as a map, a table, a matrix, a mathematical expression, or a constant. Thus, models can be designed as a diagram, whose execution follows a data flow chain. This friendly interface allows for creative design of spatial models that are saved in [[XML Script|XML]] or [[EGO Script|EGO script]] format.
-In sum, Dinamica-EGO favors simplicity, flexibility and performance, optimizing speed and computer resources, such as memory and parallel processing.
