1. Overview & Concepts

This part introduces the CMEPS mediator: what it is, the vocabulary used throughout the rest of the documentation, and a high-level picture of how a coupled run is organized. It is intended for every reader, whether you plan to run a coupled system or to modify the mediator itself.
