/**
@page modules_topology Defining the Node Topology

The first step in creating new node implementations is to define exactly 
which nodes are to be implemented and the input requirements of each 
node. 

For example, you have a physical device able to create both depth data 
and color image data. So you would want to create two node 
implementations: a DepthGenerator node and an ImageGenerator node. It is 
also highly recommended to create a Device node implementation. The 
Device node does not necessarily participate in the data flow, but can 
be useful when wanting to represent the physical device (to get its 
serial number, for example). 

For the above example, the topology scenario is defined as follows:
- One Device node
- One DepthGenerator node, depending on the specific device node that 
  the developer defines, since in this example the characteristics of the 
  DepthGenerator node is dependant on the characteristics of the Device 
  node 
- One ImageGenerator node, depending on the specific device node that 
  the developer defines, as above for the DepthGenerator 

Another topology scenario would be to create a module that provides an 
algorithm to generate data from another input. For example, a 
HandGenerator node that identifies hands in any color image - the 
algorithm will create and track the hand and take the input from an 
ImageGenerator node. Thus, the new module will include a single class 
implementation, a HandGenerator class, which will depend on any image 
generator.
