+## Purpose
+This generator takes an EMAM or EMADL model and connects it to a middleware library. If all Ports of two connected Components are marked as middleware Ports, the generator will create 2 executables that can be deployed on different machines.
+All communication of these 2 Components will then be tunneled trough the specified middleware:
