Generic Component Framework (GCF) is an award winning custom component framework based on Qt 4.7.4 GCF allows developers to compose applications as a collection of dynamically loadable components. With GCF, developers can design and develop software as a collection of decoupled and independent entities. It offers mechanisms to minimize challenges related to maintaining and upgrading of huge UI applications. GCF offers IPC, networking classes, thereby making it possible to take business logic written in Qt/C++ to the web!

Business Benefits
- Create different editions of your product with complete ease.
- Offer incremental updates.
- Offer “Automatic Software Updates”.
- Increase 3rd party participation – create and license SDKs to your product with ease.
- Develop once – Reuse everywhere – Save Costs.
Qt Developers can develop software from reusable components; make use of GUIXML to compose/configure applications. The components can be developed separately, and then integrated and bundled innovatively to create different editions and of product with ease.
With GCF it is easy to distribute applications to different teams and bring down integration costs to ZERO!!
Case Studies
Software Architecture and Maintenance.
Generic Component FrameworkGCF offers a software framework that leverages the power of Qt in rapid prototyping, and development of fast-to-market, auto-updatable software products across platforms.
GCF's component based architecture simplifies development thereby making complex systems easy to build, extend and maintain.

Electronic Design & Automation.
GCF serves as an essential tool for designing and developing simulation software, more specifically visual editors and post processors to circuit solvers. GCF has proven to be helpful in making the design and development of such systems fairly simple and less time-consuming. Its component based architecture makes it very simple to add new functionalities to an existing product as components while ensuring the integrity of the whole system.
Defence.
Generic Component FrameworkDefense applications involve complex calculations and demand high precision user interface, realtime rendering and the ability to extend such applications with time.
GCF has proven itself useful in architecting interfaces for complex measurement & analysis of data. GCF's architecture helps to build software as components, thereby making them more robust and easy to maintain, even while collaborating with multiple teams!

Medical Visualization.
Generic Component FrameworkMedical visualization involves complex analysis & recording of 3D data, and image processing. It involves rapid slicing of 3D data and processing of resultant 2D images. GCF helps in building applications to measure, record and produce visual data presentation.
Users can rapidly scroll between several planes of medical images, mark areas of the image and measure distances/areas on the plane. making them more robust and easy to maintain, even while collaborating with multiple teams!
Visualization Applications.
Generic Component FrameworkGCF's proven component based architecture is so flexible that it helps in the development of complex visualization software.
Our product VTK Designer 2 is built using GCF. VTK Designer 2 helps in graphically modelling visualization modules and viewing the results immediately.
GCF's component architecture makes it easy for developers to integrate their own components into VTK Designer 2.
Audio Applications: QBH System
Generic Component FrameworkDAPLAB's TANSEN QBH system was exhibited at the World of Senses coach on the Science Express - a unique Science Exhibition running on the Indian Rail tracks. With a database of 150 songs and visual feedback of singing skill, the prototype provided an educational experience on sound processing to the thousands of visitors to the Exhibition.
