= MCF Architecture =

The framework architecture consists of three layers. These layers are:
* User interface layer,
* MCF Applicational layer, which contains the framework logic,
* Infrastructure layer, which contains third-party components for data and computational infrastructure.

The MCF Application layer combines computational and data management in a single solution. This can be archived by adding the computational back-end package (MCF Compute Manager) into the data management framework generated using MOLGENIS.
