Please see the accompanying "Cougaar Mandelbrot" slides:
  http://cougaar.org/docman/view.php/17/201/cougaar_mandelbrot.ppt

Each "v*" package is a different implementation of the "Mandelbrot Set" application:

• "v0" {@link org.cougaar.demo.mandelbrot.v0.MandelbrotPopup}
  A simple command-line test that runs without Cougaar. This can be run from Ant, using "ant test-popup" or "ant test-file".
• "v1" {@link org.cougaar.demo.mandelbrot.v1.MandelbrotServlet}
  This servlet, and all the following "v*" servlets, are invoked by the "/mandebrot" {@link org.cougaar.demo.mandelbrot.FrontPageServlet}.

  This "v1" implementation performs the image calculation in the servlet "doGet" method. It is nearly cut-n-paste from the above "v0" code.

  Usage is documented in the doc/README.html.

• "v2" {@link org.cougaar.demo.mandelbrot.v2.FractalServlet}
  In this version, a generic FractalServlet obtains a FractalService. There are two service implementations:
  1. {@link org.cougaar.demo.mandelbrot.v2.MandelbrotCalculator}
  2. {@link org.cougaar.demo.mandelbrot.v2.JuliaCalculator}
  The choice of calculator implementation is defined in:
     ../configs/MandelbrotSociety_v2.xml
  
• "v3"
  TODO proposed blackboard request hand-off.
• "v4"
  TODO proposed non-servlet blackboard request, with no odd wait/notify.
• "v5"
  TODO proposed minor variation of "v4" to separate the request/response blackboard objects.
• "v6"
  TODO proposed use of a relay to send the request to a remote agent.
• "v7"
  TODO proposed variation of "v6" to add a "dispatcher" plugin, to specify the remote agent.
• "v8"
  TODO proposed more complex dipatcher, to select between multiple remote agent "workers".
• "v9"
  TODO proposed task decomposition and parallel computation.
• "v10"
  TODO proposed policies and QoS adaptive behavior.
