/**
 * @defgroup alihlt_aliroot_simulation HLT simulation in AliRoot
 * This section describes the the simulation of the HLT in AliRoot.
 *
 * @section alihlt_aliroot_simulation_intro General Remarks
 * HLT has a special role in the normal data flow  of simulation and
 * reconstruction. Since the HLT reconstruction and analysis runs on-line
 * on the HLT farm, the raw data produced by HLT as a detector contains
 * already reconstructed events. Consequently, the HLT response has to be
 * simulated as well as the data of all other detectors. Since the detector
 * data is needed, the HLT simulation is run at the end of AliSimulation.
 * As a matter of fact, HLT always reconstructs data, <em><b>HLT simulation
 * </b></em> means <em><b>HLT reconstruction embedded into AliRoot</b></em>.
 *
 * @section alihlt_aliroot_simulation_steering Steering
 * The AliHLTSimulation class is the steering class called from AliSimulation.
 * An instance of AliHLTSystem is used to run the chains defined by the
 * available libraries or a AliHLTConfiguration configuration macro.
 *
 * The libraries to be loaded can be specified as an option to AliSimulation.
 * <pre>
 * AliSimulation sim;
 * sim.SetRunHLT("libAliHLTSample.so");
 * </pre>
 * @see AliHLTSimulation for further details
 *
 * @section alihlt_aliroot_simulation_running Running
 * The actual chains to be run depend on the HLT library modules which 
 * are loaded to the system. There is a default collection of libraries 
 * defined in AliHLTSystem::fgkHLTDefaultLibs. The default libraries are 
 * loaded if nothing else is specified. The libraries implement \em agents 
 * (AliHLTModuleAgent childs) describing the properties of a module.
