Data analysis in nuclear/particle physics experiments is based on data processing of event-by-event data. Each event contains information measured by arrays of detectors. This data has to be combined, processed, interpreted and reduced in size until the physics information of interest is revealed. Eventually, parts of the data is visualized by sorting it into histograms.
Elder-Pt is the prototype of a framework, that facilitates the task of event-by-event data analysis. It provides:
1) a parser for textual graph description
2) an API to write processing nodes that will be used in the graph description for the graph
3) a set of frequently used processing nodes
