Publishing Options
Now that you’ve completed your model’s interface, you want to share it with other people. isee systems offers different options
for publishing your model with its interface, each described further in subsections below:
Note that you can also share your model or CLD alone using either the isee Player or the isee Exchange.
Publish on isee systems’ servers
We offer both free and paid options on the isee Exchange. By agreeing
to either the Published Interface License (interfaces) or the Creative Commons License (models and CLDs), you can publish to the isee Exchange at no
cost. In this case, your published interface or model will be included in the directory of interfaces and models available at the isee Exchange. When
you publish an interface, the Published Interface License only applies to the interface. The underlying model is not accessible to anyone from the
isee Exchange. If you choose to upload your model, in addition to or instead of an interface, the Creative Commons License applies to the model you
upload.
Except for multiplayer games, the free option runs all models within the local client’s browser, so it is very scalable.
Multiplayer games run on our server so are size limited* and cannot support as many simultaneous instances.
Paid versions are described in detail here.
Publishing on your own server
For a fee, you can license the isee Exchange software to host interfaces yourself. Our server-side offerings require
some degree of expertise to set up and maintain. The isee Exchange software comes configured to run on 64-bit (x64) Debian Linux
running Apache and PostgreSQL.
Stella Server Unlimited: For an annual fee, an unlimited number of models can be published on your own server under one
domain that is either internal- or external-facing. Support is billed on a per incident basis.
Publish to Desktop or Mobile
isee systems offers two ways to share your model interfaces on the desktop or on mobile devices:
Create Your Own App: Using the Stella Designer API, you can bundle your Stella interface
into an App or build your own mobile-friendly custom interface. Note this requires
software-development skills. Please contact us for more information.
Distribute the isee Runtime: The isee Runtime provides a cost-effective way to distribute multiple models
to desktop users. Starting at $299 per user, with generous volume discounts, the isee Runtime includes maintenance
updates for one year, ensuring the users of your models stay current. After the first year, maintenance is renewable
annually.
