a software for the construction and 
manipulation of equation-based, object-oriented dynamic simulation models.

Documentation can be found at

It is based on the capabilities of CommonLisp for dynamic handling of class MetaObjects.

Promot consists of two main parts: 
 PromotKernel:: 
   A lisp software that cares for all kinds of TextualModelRepresentation, ClassDefinition and ClassEditing,
   ModelInstantiation and ModelManipulation

 PromotGui::
   A Java software, independently of the kernel which presents the classes and module structures graphically,
   allows to edit the classes through changes of sourcecode, via VizEdit and VariableDialogs.
   The Gui is dumb in the sense that it does not contain to much information. All data displayed, comes from 
   the kernel and is only viewed in Java.

   The Gui is connected to the PromotKernel via a CorBa middleware.
