 * @defgroup alihlt_system HLT integration into AliRoot
 * This section describes the HLT integration into AliRoot.
 * 
 * @section alihlt_system_intro General Remarks
 * The HLT analysis is organized in components which can also be used 
 * in off-line processing. Two different types of off-line applications 
 * can be distinguished:
 * - AliRoot simulation (AliSimulation)
 * - AliRoot reconstruction (AliReconstruction)
 *
 * In either case an HLT chain described by means of AliHLTConfiguration
 * builds the core of any HLT application. Special components exist, which 
 * emulate the behavior of the components of the HLT on-line data 
 * transportation framework. Together with the analysis components, this 
 * allows the full emulation of the behavoir of HLT analysis chain off-line.
 *
 * More details how to setup up such a chain can be found:
 * - The examples page under @ref tut_hltsystem
 *
 * @section alihlt_system_simulation AliRoot simulation
 * 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>.
 *
 * More Details an be found in the module: 
 * - @ref alihlt_aliroot_simulation
 *
 * @section alihlt_system_reconstruction AliRoot reconstruction
 *
 * Like all other ALICE detectors, HLT utilizes the AliReconstruction interface
 * to implement a plugin for the AliRoot reconstruction. The reconstructor can be
 * used to
 * - run HLT analysis chains in the AliRoot reconstruction <br>
 *   This option is mainly intended for the development and debugging cycle. HLT
 *   chains can be defined by means of AliHLTConfiguration and can be run either
 *   stand-alone or embedded into the AliReconstruction cycle.
 * - run the default analysis chains <br>
 *   HLT modules can define default analysis chains to be run during AliRoot
 *   reconstruction.
 * - handle the HLTOUT data<br>
 *   The HLT output stream contains multiple data blocks produced by the various
 *   components of the HLT chain. Each block might need different and even
 *   detector specific processing, like e.g. the processing of ESD objects or the
 *   handling of compressed data.
 *
 * More Details an be found in the module: 
 * - @ref alihlt_aliroot_reconstruction
