The core and services

EVA ICS v4 provides a powerful core, which holds item inventory and routes actions. Each EVA ICS node has got the own core instance.

Node functionality can be extended with services - small processes which are launched by core launchers, interact with the core and each other via the local ultra-fast IPC bus and extend functionality of EVA ICS nodes.

The default services

The default services are either bundled into EVA ICS (Rust services) or provided as separate modules (e.g. Python services).

More services can be found in service contribution repository, provided by integrators or developed using Software Development Kit (SDK).
