The Apache UIMA team is pleased to announce the first release of Apache UIMA DUCC 1.0.0.
DUCC stands for Distributed UIMA Cluster Computing. DUCC is a cluster management system providing tooling,management, and scheduling facilities to automate the scale-out of applications written to the UIMA framework. Core UIMA provides a generalized framework for applications that process unstructured information such as human language, but does not provide a scale-out mechanism. UIMA-AS extends UIMA and provides a scale-out mechanism to distribute UIMA pipelines over a cluster of computing resources, but does not provide job or cluster management of the resources. DUCC extends UIMA-AS by defining a formal job model that closely maps to a standard UIMA pipeline. Around this job model DUCC provides cluster management services to automate the scale-out of UIMA pipelines over computing clusters. Source and binary distributions are available for download from the Apache UIMA download site: http://uima.apache.org/downloads.cgi For complete information on Apache UIMA DUCC, including instructions on how to submit bug reports, patches, or suggestions for improvement, see the Apache UIMA website: http://uima.apache.org/ Jaroslaw Cwiklik, on behalf of the Apache UIMA Community
