Description
Object-oriented (OO) approach is the key technology to develop a software system in the LHC/ATLAS experiment. The authors developed a OO simulation framework based on the Geant4 general-purpose simulation toolkit. Because of complexity of simulation in ATLAS, the authors paid most attention to the scalability in the design. Although the first target to apply this framework is to implement the ATLAS full detector simulation program, there is no experiment-specific code in it, therefore it can be utilized for the development of any simulation package, not only for HEP experiments but also for various different research domains. The authors discuss our approach of design and implementation of the framework
